We are not alone! Victoria School District is re-evaluating the safety of Wi-Fi

CST-Victoria (a group of concerned parents and citizens) is calling for the Board of School District 61 to adopt the Precautionary Principle and not install any more wireless Internet systems in public schools until it can be proven safe. 

The Greater Victoria School District has set up a sub-committee to re-evaluate the safety of Wi-Fi technology in schools, and has started the first of a series of meetings on the issue.

Press Release - a great summary of the concerns:
