Canada must regulate human & environmental harms from “wireless” radiation
Join experts and citizens’ groups in calling for a moratorium on auction of more 5G spectrum
Hundreds of studies since Canada’s last science review show human and environmental harms from “wireless” radiofrequency radiation. There is, however, no research on additional higher frequencies used for 5G. This is why a rapidly growing coalition of Canadian experts, and health and environmental organizations is calling for a moratorium on 5G spectrum auctions.
Did you know Canada completely lacks environmental protection against radiofrequency radiation? There is no evidence this untested tech is safe in the long run. Pausing sales that increase “wireless” radiation with higher frequency spectrum is the prudent choice.
In 2017 the government didn’t listen, so it is important this time to TAKE ACTION by September 6th.
Support the Joint Statement calling for a moratorium on 5G expansion
Prevent Cancer Now and many other experts and organizations have issued a time-sensitive Joint Statement to Industry, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) opposing release of more spectrum in the 26, 28 and 38 GHz Bands.
Six reasons to say NO to release of more mmWave spectrum
There has been no research on the long-term health effects of mmWaves. There is strong scientific evidence that radiation from current (pre-5G) wireless technologies causes serious adverse effects. 5G will worsen the existing problem.
Hundreds of recent scientific reports show “wireless” radiofrequency harms
Hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific publications since Health Canada’s most recent review of radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation show serious acute and chronic effects in humans as well as diverse biota.
What happened in the 2017 consultation on 5G mmWave spectrum?
All health concerns were dismissed by Industry, Science and Economic Development (ISED), relying on Health Canada — despite the evidence presented by citizens and non-industry organizations representing close to 100,000 Canadians.

The Environmental Injustice of Beauty
The ENRICH Project and partners,including Prevent Cancer Now, hosted a three-part webinar series about the adverse health impacts of toxic personal care products and beauty products. The webinars followed “The Environmental Injustice of Beauty” campaign, to raise awareness about the negative health effects of toxic products, as well as the role of Eurocentric beauty standards influencing product use.
Urge your MP to support sustainable agriculture
Concerns raised during the Federal Sustainable Agriculture Strategy consultation (including Prevent Cancer Now’s submission) were ignored the following day, in an April 1 announcement of a Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership. This was no April 1 joke. Agriculture Canada had asked for foundational input into the future of growing food, and the day after presented a fait accompli without including the requested input. The Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership is a $3.5-billion, 5-year agreement starting April 1, 2023, between the federal, provincial and territorial…
