Special Weather Statement on Air Quality for North Coast comes to an end

The Air Quality concerns have diminished significantly
today for much of British Columbia, with only the
lower third of the Province still under an Advisory

The Noon hour brought an end to the three and half day alert related to smoke in the atmosphere for the North Coast and Haida Gwaii, with Environment Canada issuing the all clear earlier today.

As we relayed last week, the first Advisory was issued on Friday afternoon and by noon on Monday, close to two thirds of the province of British Columbia was covered by the Air Quality statement.
