Peel Region, which encompasses his Mississauga—Streetsville riding, is now studying the issue, with some councillors pushing to eliminate fluoride. The province has put municipalities on notice that it doesn’t support any move to remove fluoride from tap water. Plus, he said, with toothpaste, improved diets and better overall health, fluoridation is not necessary. Some cities, such as Stratford, Ont., have enough naturally occurring fluoride that none is needed. “Because it is such a large regional municipality, the rest of the province is looking at Peel as well,” she said in the legislature.
