Petition Summary and Background:
The 5G (fifth generation) wireless network will exponentially increase exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation on top of the 3G, 4G and LTE networks for telecommunications already in place. Scientists and doctors throughout the world have warned of the serious health risks of RF radiation such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, infertility, memory problems, sleep-disorders and birth defects. Our children, pregnant women, the elderly and the immune compromised are most at risk. The City of Kingston is allowing private companies to install “small cell” antennas, the first phase of 5G infrastructure, on lampposts and utility poles in front of our homes and in public spaces without any public consultation.

Action petitioned for:
We, the residents of Kingston and surrounding area, demand:

• the immediate end to the installation of "small cell" antennas and the removal of the small cells that have been installed on or near our property without our approval and with no warning, whatsoever;
• that the City of Kingston uphold its duty to protect its residents and put the needs of its residents, not the telecommunication companies, first by refusing 5G infrastructure until it is proven safe.
