Dear BC Minister of Education, Jennifer Whiteside, 

- Did you know that talking on your cell phone 2-1/2 hours a month (not more than 30 minutes a week) is considered "a heavy user"? 

- Did you know a Canadian study found 558 hours of cell phone use can more than a doubled the risk of brain cancer? 

- Did you know the Chicago Tribune recently did an independent investigation into the cell phone scandal (Phonegate) and confirmed the findings that iPhone 7 and other smart phones exceeded the Safety Code 6 guidelines for radiation exposure? 

- Did you know Apple and Samsung are knowingly selling products that exceed allowable radiation limits and have failed to warn its consumers regarding radiation risks and the need to keep the phone at a safe distance away from the body? 

- Did you know the Chicago investigation also confirmed what the French National Agency has warned about for some time that 90% of all the major cellphones tested (more than 450) emitted significantly higher levels of radiation exceeding the safety compliance standards, up to 5 times the current guidelines when phones are tested as they are used in real life?

 - Did you know a recent study by Professor Om Gandhi examined data from 450 cell phones and also confirmed that the phone can exceed the guidelines and emitted up to 11 times over the US FCC limit when used under realistic conditions?

 - Did you know the Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), has failed to do its due diligence by allowing cell phones to be brought onto the market without any independent, practical/realistic-use safety testing?

 - Did you know the manufacturers of cell phones are allowed to self report and only have to submit a sample of a one new phone, sent directly from the factory, to comply with exposure standards that has been set by the industry? 

- Did you know Rob Fleming, previous Minister of Education, had refused to follow Ontario’s lead and ban cellphones and personal devices in our schools, when his child is attending the only school in Victoria with a cell phone ban? 

- Did you know Rob Fleming has denied parents the opportunity to make an informed decision for their children, on the cell phone ban in BC? 

Our question is: Will you allow parents to make an informed decision on the use of wireless technology in our schools? 

Respectfully, 

Janis Hoffmann
