Health Talk time change starting 30 minutes earlier

Our speaker Angela needs to catch the 3:10 return ferry tomorrow.

To allow enough time to give her talk and field questions, it is necessary to start earlier.  

Apologies for the late notice.

Wednesday October 15th, 1:30 - 3:00 pm

Forbes Hall 

Speaker: Angela Eykelbosh, PhD, Environmental Health Scientist, Island Health

As our climate becomes warmer and drier, the increased frequency of droughts and wildfires will have implications for air quality both inside and outside our homes. This session will provide an overview of recent climate projections for Thetis Island and Penelakut and will discuss the implications for respiratory health. We will discuss some practical options for reducing exposure to particulate matter, using tools such as low-cost sensors, air cleaners (including DIY air cleaners), and clean wood burning practices.

A presentation of the Forbes Hall Health Services Group. For more information please contact:
