Air quality warning re-issued for Grande Prairie region

Another air quality warning has been issued for the Grande Prairie region, as wildfire smoke is blanketing the region on Saturday.

It’s expected the smoke from the Kelly Lake fire, which has continued to push into the Alberta Border is likely going to blanket the region throughout the next few days.

As smoke levels increase, health risks increase; limit time outdoors, and consider reducing or rescheduling outdoor sports, activities and events.

People more likely to be impacted by outdoor air pollution, including people aged 65 and older, pregnant people, infants and young children, people with an existing illness or chronic health condition, and people who work outdoors, should reduce or reschedule strenuous activities outdoors and seek medical attention if experiencing symptoms.
