SFU and the BC Lung Foundation, in partnership with Island Health, will be hosting a BREATHE Workshop in Duncan.
This workshop is designed for older adults, pregnant women, individuals with respiratory conditions, or anyone in the community who is seeking to improve indoor air quality.
Build your own FREE Air Cleaner during the workshop. Participants will receive a complimentary DIY air cleaner (free box fan+ other materials-valued at approximately $100), which is a valuable tool in enhancing indoor air quality, particularly during wildfire season or in environments affected by allergens and viruses. This workshop offers a great opportunity for emergency preparedness, especially as we approach the summer.
