A City of Regina councillor has asked the city to reconsider its decision to add fluoride to the drinking water starting next year, saying its safety should be reviewed.

Clark Bezo put forward a motion at the March 5 council meeting to postpone adding fluoride to the water supply until there is “conclusive evidence” that fluoride has “no significant neurotoxic effects or other bodily harms.” The motion will be discussed at an upcoming meeting.
