Kamloops residents reminded to monitor air quality health index as smoke persists
KAMLOOPS — A smoky skies bulletin issued by Environment Canada this week remains in effect (as of Sept. 13) for the Kamloops region.
The thick haze is partly the result of nearby fire activity, including a wildfire near Hope.
Smoke is a yearly occurence for southern B.C., and while residents may grow used to the messaging around air quality, Interior Health says it’s important to keep taking precautions.
