We are asking that cell towers be placed in appropriate positions to serve the residents of the Eastern Shore, Nova Scotia for the following reasons:

When a hurricane hits our area, there is usually no power and the internet goes down at the same time, the result being that there is no way to communicate with the outside world.

If there is a fire or flood in our area, there will be no cell phone alert to advise us of imminent danger.

Firefighters and Paramedics rely heavily on a cell service

In case of illness, there is no way to call for an ambulance when there is no power

Many residents pay for a cell service, despite the fact that there is no tower close to our homes.

We are asking Bell Aliant to provide a STABLE cell service along the entire Eastern shore.

Government of Nova Scotia may be asked to provide a grant to assist in the erection of a cell tower, should Bell claim that they cannot justify the cost.

FEDERAL. We ask that the Federal Government provide funding to help provide a stable cell service in Nova Scotia
