Rumour of 5G tower in Vernon unfounded
Freedom Mobile and Rogers tower for 3-4G telecommunication
Some Vernon residents are concerned a newly constructed cellular tower is 5G-capable, despite reassurance from authorities that the technology is safe.
The tower, located off Highway 6 near the old Far West factory outlet, is not a fifth generation of wireless technology, according to the City of Vernon. The tower belongs to Freedom Mobile and Rogers and will be used for LTE 3-4G mobile telecommunication.
“The City of Vernon has not received any applications to date related to 5G towers,” said Christy Poirier, Vernon’s communications manager.
The tower is on property zoned light industrial, which permits such structures.
Freedom Mobile and Rogers conducted a period of public consultation prior to construction, as required by Industry Canada’s Procedures.
It was constructed in early spring 2020 following Freedom’s launch in Vernon last summer.
It is not the only tower to go up, as networks require several towers in an area, and while this tower is not 5G, most new infrastructure is equipped to handle 5G.
But some residents think the tower was put up quietly, with no public information and they are convinced it is a 5G tower.
“It is intimidating,” said Brad Weston, who is concerned about possible health effects, especially for children.
Weston is a custodian with the Vernon School District and recently noticed the tower from the maintenance office.
After Weston conducted his own online research, he became worried about the effects such towers may have.
“I can no longer deny the hidden dangers of this technology, specifically 5G,” he said in a letter sent to Vernon and Lumby politicians and CUPE representatives.
Weston is requesting a leave of absence from the school district, as he is refusing to work in unsafe conditions, citing the proximity of the tower to the maintenance office.
According to Weston, 5G makes people sick.
“The EMF frequencies from this technology damage human cells and DNA. This is scientifically proven and well known. The question to answer then is why are we allowing it to be rolled out? What is the real purpose for it?”
In regards to the safety of 5G, School District Superintendent Joe Rogers says the district follows the recommendations of Health Canada, the Provincial Health Office and Interior Health.
“The safety of our students and staff is our first priority.”
The Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association also defends the use of 5G, adding that there is much misinformation circulating on social media.
“Mobile communications, including 5G, uses low-energy radio frequency (RF) energy, similar that used by televisions, radios and baby monitors,” a CWTA spokesperson told the Morning Star. “The radio frequencies used by 5G are not new and have been used for years in other types of wireless applications.
“The potential health effects of RF energy from mobile communications have been studied for decades, and according to national and international governments and agencies, such as the World Health Organization, the American Cancer Society, and many others, there is no substantiated scientific evidence of harmful health effects from RF technologies used within national and international safety standards.”
Even at that, the CWTA also states that Vernon isn’t likely to be on 5G yet and currently only has LTE networks. The Association stated that 5G is only starting to be deployed in a limited fashion in a few cities in Canada.
CWTA has prepared a short background document that sets out the facts on the issue of 5G and safety – it can be found here.

EMAIL RESPONSE TO THE MORNING STAR 5G PUBLICATION
SENT ON MAY 9, 2020
Whole Truth Uncovered
To the Morningstar News:
It would be greatly appreciated if you allowed me to share my voice with the Public Body by sharing this piece in your paper word for word. You have my consent and permission to share the district email with the Public Body as well.
Rumours of 5G tower unfounded = Whole Truth Uncovered
My name is Brad Weston and I am writing in response to the article published about my District email.
Let’s set the record straight. I do not think 5G causes COVID-19. I know it doesn’t. I do not think 5G alone makes people sick either. I am well aware there is a virus going around. I do know both 5G radiation poisoning and COVID-19 cause the exact same symptoms. I understand the towers in Vernon are currently running on LTE 3-4G mobile telecommunications. I also know they are 5G capable and ready to operate. The Morningstar said it themselves in their article, “most new infrastructure is equipped to handle 5G”. This is the very reason I am warning the General Public.
It is interesting to note that the Morningstar provided a half truth in their write up. This is why people such as myself, people who are telling the whole truth, are being labeled as “tin-foil hat conspiracy theorists”. The mainstream media is not telling the whole truth. It has to stop. They are deceiving the General Public with the narrative of the government’s propaganda. I am not scared to say it. I will not live in fear of persecution.
On Monday, April 27th I left my job, refusing to work due to unsafe work conditions, because I know EMF’S, electromagnetic frequencies, emit harmful radiation which has detrimental effects on the Human Mind and Body. Long ago, I learned Wi-Fi, cellphones and other wireless devices cause serious health effects from long periods of exposure. We all know this. Wireless devices from smartphones to baby monitors come with warnings advising you they should not be used if held directly on your body. They encourage you to use the handsfree options.
I know technology has its place in our society. I love the communication and transport aspects. I appreciate being able to call others or use a vehicle to get places but when do we stop, when has it become too much for Humanity, for the Earth?
Here we are today and with powerful 5G devices being placed absolutely everywhere while we are in isolation. It’s astounding how fast these 5G capable towers have gone up. One has to wonder what makes it such an essential service. Personally I do not own a cellphone, a computer, a laptop or any form of wireless technology. I have a hardwired landline home phone and it works great. I know it’s not harmful. I can talk to anyone I want when I am home. That is enough for myself. When I am out of the house I can be in the present moment, though admittedly, it has become very distracting seeing all this wireless hardware everywhere.
Yes, I sent a massive email to all my Union Sisters and Brothers, including the Minister of Education and Politicians when I learned of the very real health dangers of this new technology being rolled out. I called for everyone to join me, to stand together and refuse to let this happen.
I did do my own “online” research. I took the time to listen to very credible sources such as Barrie Trower, a British Navy microwave weapons expert who has been warning of the dangers of this technology for years. I read legitimate articles from CBS consumer news reports informing people back in 2018 of the health effects. Firefighters in California had fallen ill with neurological disorders and other diseases when 5G antennas were installed at their fire halls. I have heard doctors and health professionals speak out about the harmful health effects of all this wireless technology. It is no joke. People need to stop accusing one another of spreading “fake news” when there is a large number of people trying to speak up about this and the mainstream media is only giving the half truth.
People have the right to do their own independent research, form their own opinions and draw their own conclusions. It is obvious the mainstream media no longer allows investigative journalism. They only feed the General Public the script they have been handed. If we feel something is harmful to our Health and Safety, as Human-Beings, we have the right to voice that concern. We all have the right to refuse work due to unsafe work conditions. We also have the right to refuse consent to our Children being exposed to environments we feel are damaging to their Health and Well-Being.
If our Public Education system truly believes the safety of our students and staff is their first priority, then they should listen to all members of the Public Body. I seriously question why we can not band together and reeducate ourselves. Humanity will do far better without the excessive wireless technology.
I have taken a leave of absence from the school district, without pay, because my Health and Well-Being is far more important than a paycheck at this moment. I will happily return when I know it is safe.
I am proud to have sent my email on Sunday May 2, 2020, 400 Doctors and 900 Health Care workers in Belgium have called for caution in rolling out 5G technology.
A quote from the Brussels Times:
“On the contrary, evidence of its harmfulness is accumulating. Since 2011, moreover, electromagnetic radiation from wireless technologies has been considered by the WHO as possibly carcinogenic, largely because of the increased risks of gliomas and acoustic neuromas in long-term users.”
I am a Public official, a government employee working in the public education sector. I have major concerns over the Health, Safety and Well-Being of our staff and students all across Canada. The Public Body has the Right to hear my concerns in their entirety. The Vernon Morningstar has my consent to publish the email I sent to the school district titled, “Our Health and Safety is at Risk:” Given my permission the General Public Body has the right to view it.
