QUALITÉ DE L’AIR : ACTIVITÉS RECOMMANDÉES

• Take it easy outdoors — Everyone should avoid running or doing heavy activities outdoors when the air is smoky, but extra care should be taken for babies and young children, older adults, people with breathing or heart problems, and those who work outside.
• Keep smoke out — Close all windows and doors. Use tape and plastic sheets to seal any gaps where smoke might come in. This helps keep your indoor air cleaner. If you can’t keep the smoke out of your home and AQHI is 7 or higher, go to your community’s dedicated clean-air space
• Clean the air inside — Use a portable air cleaner with a HEPA filter if you have one. You can also make one using a box fan and a filter.
• Wear a mask outside — If you must go outside for a long time, wear a well-fitted an N95 or KN95 mask. It blocks more smoke than a cloth mask.
• Watch your health — If you have coughing, trouble breathing, or chest pain, get medical help. 

We encourage everyone to stay informed by checking local air quality updates through Environment Canada, PurpleAir or the WeatherCAN app.  

If you or someone you know is in distress or would like to talk to someone, they can contact the Wîchihîwâuwin Helpline at 1-833-632-4357 

The CBHSSJB acknowledges that this situation may be concerning for many, but encourages community members to support one another with care and compassion until conditions improve. 

Thank you for your attention and cooperation in keeping our communities safe and healthy.
