This letter is part of my ongoing fight for the health and welfare of not only my son, but all children

who stand to suffer from the noise and infrasound from Industrial Wind Turbines.  This is the reason

that I started the “Mothers Against Wind Turbines”group.

To:

The Right Honourable Stephen Harper,

Prime Minister of Canada

The Honourable Peter Gordon MacKay,

Minister of Justice and Attorney General

Dear Prime Minister Harper and Attorney General and Minister of Justice,

Re: Request to meet regarding the UN Rights of the Child, and Industrial Wind Energy

 

Purpose:  The purpose of this message is to request a meeting with the

Attorney General – Minister of Justice to discuss:

• the opportunity for the Government of Canada to take action

in order to ensure that wind energy developers are not allowed

to risk harm to my son, or to any other child

• how quickly will the Government of Canada act on this serious matter?

This message may be shared with others.

Background:

• At my request, Ms Carmen Krogh has been assisting with compiling evidence
regarding risks to the health of children including those with special needs which
are associated with noise in general and from industrial wind energy facilities.

• Ms. Krogh has communicated concerns to Canadian Federal and Ontario
Provincial authorities and others regarding risk of effects on children in general
and those relating to my son.

• My son is vulnerable to noise emissions in general. Industrial wind turbine

emissions will risk his health. Attached is a letter from my son’s specialist

physician.

• I have met and appealed to Federal, Provincial Ontario authorities and

representatives from the wind developer. Examples are: Premier Kathleen Wynne;

Mr. Dean Allison, MP for Niagara-West Glanbrook; Mr.Tim Hudak, [former]

Conservative Leader; Ms.Andrea Horwath, N.D.P. Leader; Mr. Chiarelli, Energy

Minister; Niagara Region’s Medical Health Officer; Ms.Valerie Jaeger; the

Niagara Regional Council; the West Lincoln Council; the Children’s Aid Society;

and others.

• At my request, Ms. Krogh has appealed for assistance under the UN Convention

Rights of the Child.

• Letters have been written to the Prime Minister; Attorney General and Minister of

Justice; and Minister of Health on this matter.

• My son is vulnerable to noise whether at home or at school. However, I have not

received assurance that my son will not be exposed to industrial wind energy

facilities either at home and at school.

Current Status:

• The responses I have received from Canadian Federal and Ontario Provincial

authorities have not addressed the serious risks associated with wind energy

facilities and children.

• There is no indication provisions will be protective of children in general, or how

my son will be protected.

• Indications are the Government of Canada is committed to the protection of

children; however, what avenue does it suggest I take to make sure that my son is

not harmed by the known noise and infrasound from the wind turbines, which are

proposed to be built very close to our home.

• The letter written by my son’s specialist has been ignored at every level so far, and

I need to know what channels to take, now.

Request:

My son will be directly harmed by wind turbines, unless the wind company is stopped from

installing them.

I request a meeting as soon as possible to discuss:

• What are the steps the Government of Canada will take to make sure that the wind

company is not allowed to expose my son or any other child to a wind energy

facility?

• How quickly will the Government of Canada respond to this serious risk

• Will the Government of Canada take immediate measures to ensure health

protection from wind energy facilities for Canadian children?

Respectfully submitted,
