Smoky Skies Bulletin
Several regions of BC are being impacted or are likely to be impacted by wildfire smoke over the next 24-48 hours. Smoke will continue to impact many regions of the province.
Individuals may experience symptoms such as increased coughing, throat irritation, headaches or shortness of breath. Children, seniors, and those with cardiovascular or lung disease, such as asthma, are especially at risk.
If you or those in your care are exposed to wildfire smoke, consider taking extra precautions to reduce your exposure. Wildfire smoke is a constantly-changing mixture of particles and gasses which includes many chemicals that can harm your health.
