Fluoride a step away from being removed from the drinking water in Parry Sound and McDougall

The next step in removing fluoride from the town’s drinking water has passed.  At last night’s meeting, council passed a by-law to stop adding fluoride to the municipal drinking water in a 5-1 recorded vote.  Councillor Bonnie Keith was the only one who opposed the by-law, but not because she thinks fluoride should remain in the water.

Councillor Brad Horne had a message for town and Municipality of McDougall residents.

By stopping the addition of fluoride and not having a snap referendum, the town will save around $250,000.  McDougall will discuss a similar by-law at their council meeting tomorrow night and if it’s passed there, fluoride will stop being added to the drinking water on Friday at noon.
