Wildfire smoke is causing continued air quality advisories throughout much of the province, including Thompson and the immediate areas.

Mayor Colleen Smook offers a reminder here for those unsure on how to manage the smoky conditions.

“The general advise from the Health officials is the best way to avoid exposure to the smoke is to stay inside, keep doors and windows closed and if you have to be outdoors, wear a mask.”

Smook added that the use of air filters in our homes is helpful, as well.

She advised that those who are working outdoors refrain from anything too strenuous and said city crews and those working on city projects are being told to go indoors if the air quality warnings are high.

At the end of the day, everyone is responsible for looking after their own health, but should avoid the smoke as much as possible.
