Purpose of News List

It is a way of communicating news, events and website updates to those that want to have these updates.  We prefer NOT to use the membership list email list for relaying multiple issues that not all members may want to receive it.  Therefore, we are asking you to Opt-in if you do want to receive the News List emails.    

3.)  New Documents in the Member area

This is updated information on the Wireless Smart Meter program.

Whether you have been placed on a “delay list “or not, please note BC Hydro is taking it as “delay install” not “do not install”. So you will find a sample letter on CST’s website to send to BC Hydro.

1.) copy and email  right away.

2.) suggested that you cc other officials noted

3.) keep a file of dates and copies of all correspondence.

You need to email (or post) right away.  Installations are underway.

Related news - Today I also spoke with Farren Lander, Healthy Homes Environmental in Vancouver http://healthyhomesenvironmental.com/what-we-do/about-farren/  He assure me that those doing the EMF and radio frequency testing have been networking and working on the problem both in terms of education and ways to mitigate the problems that will occur with the installation.
