Fluoride Free Peterborough is educating the public about the ineffectiveness, dangers, and ethical violation of water fluoridation. Our goal is for Peterborough to join the increasing number of un-fluoridated Canadian cities including Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Montreal, Quebec City, Fredericton, Windsor, Orillia, and Bobcaygeon....
