The Saskatchewan Ministry of Health is warning residents to take precautions because of poor air quality in parts of the province due to smoke from British Columbia forest fires.
"People who are at higher risk, including persons with asthma and other respiratory and heart conditions should consider staying indoors with the windows closed to reduce their exposure to the outdoor air when the air quality is even moderately bad," Deputy Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. "Even otherwise healthy people should also avoid any vigorous outdoor physical activity while there is heavy smoke in the air."
There are several websites that will assist in assessing the current situation and level of health risk.
You can determine if you are at risk by going to:
