The last time E.P.I.C. exhibited with this Symposium, the organizers welcomed our informative PDO (“Personal Devices Off”) tent card in the centre of every table of attendees and also displayed a huge image of the front of the card on the venue’s large tv screens.
If you know of any other very low-cost or free event where E.P.I.C. could showcase an exhibit table, please let us know by email to epic@iexistworld.org, or phone to leave a voicemail message at 416-622-3742.
2. Unique news about spatellites: the Provincial Government of Ontario is now in a $100 million partnership with Starlink.
When I saw this, I admit that I had a different adjective in mind than “Unique.” There was a ton of mainstream media news coverage of this.
This is one of the news article sub-headlines:
'Reliable internet connectivity is just not a luxury': ONSAT program to bring broadband to 15,000 eligible underserved homes and businesses in rural, remote and northern parts of the province

Another news article’s sub-headline:
The province will cover equipment and installation fees for the service

Here is the Ontario Government’s news release:

3. Opinion article published about Health Canada.
Along similar lines as in this published opinion article (link is father below), perhaps you would like to reply to inform Dr. Hancock and/or the Editor about your experience regarding Health Canada and electrosmog pollutants. Here are their email addresses:
thancock@uvic.ca
Dr. Trevor Hancock is a retired professor and senior scholar at the University of Victoria’s School of Public Health and Social Policy
To comment on this article, write a letter to the editor:
letters@timescolonist.com
headline & sub-headline:
”Trevor Hancock: We need to investigate links between chemical industry, governments
Health Canada and its Pesticide Management Regulatory Agency see industry and its trade secrets as more worthy of protection than the health of Canadians and their environment”
4. In Wednesday’s UPDATE, I forgot to pinpoint where to find the EMF-related topics in item f).
There are two sections:
3.3 Lighting;
4.2 Electronic interconnectivity.
f) Canadian Committee on Indoor Air Quality
“Module 14 – Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) and Productivity in Workplaces/ Achievement in Schools
The purpose of this guide is to inform building designers, managers, operators, educational authorities, employers, occupants and visitors about indoor environmental quality (IEQ), in relation to well-being, students’ achievement in educational settings, and workers’ productivity.”

~ Sent from my corded device using a wired internet connection, with all wireless OFF. A conscious choice. For cleaner air everywhere. For people & planet ♥️
How to practice safe tech & e-hygiene to prevent electrosmog:
1 • Cords & adaptors (instead of wireless radiation). Prefer, provide & request cords/cables to connect devices & places.
2 • Downloads (instead of streaming radiation). Prefer, provide & request apps & media you can use offline.
3 • Awareness. Know what & how to connect non-wirelessly, and help others know.
4 • Caution. Use caution with all types of power.
5 • Kindness. Be kind to yourself, others & the environment.
Thank you for helping everyone realize it’s better to prevent electrosmog.
