This Sunday, April 7, The Sound Studio in Sechelt presents Resonance: Beings of Frequency, a powerful film about the potential damaging effects that WiFi culture and EMFs (electro-magnetic frequencies) have on our health and the environment. After this informative film, there will be a discussion with the goal of forming an advocacy group.
Almost everyone uses cell phones, so the intent of the discussion is not to be geared toward getting rid of the culture of cell phones, but rather become informed on how to use them in a safer manner for everyone. Also, there is a real opportunity to have a say where future cell towers are built on the Sunshine Coast. Childcare is provided on-site; RSVP at [email protected] if you are bringing kids. Admission is a suggested donation of $10 at the door. The Sound is located at 5538 Wharf Ave. in Sechelt, and the event starts at 6:30 p.m.
