Flouride Debate

Fluoridation of Thunder Bay's drinking water won't be taking place any time soon.

City council voted against further study of the issue and against having the option on the next election ballot.

The issue consumed hours of presentations and debate last night with the meeting not ending until 3:00 a.m.

However, city administration says the matter could still be put to a plebiscite if a petition can be signed by 10 per cent of the city’s voters – about 86-hundred signatures.
