Wildfire Smoke and Masks

There are unfortunately still several weeks of wildfire and possible poor air quality days left in the season. Remember to keep an eye on the air quality and avoid strenuous activities outdoors when the air is poor.

If anyone wishes to use an N95 mask during this time please take one or two from the box by the front door of the Firehall on Mission Road. These masks were obtained by the Forbes Hall Health Services Group when the Red Cross offered free masks to communities to use when the air quality is poor.

Access Purple Air at https://map.purpleair.com for up to date data on air quality here on Thetis and the surrounding area.

Stay safe and enjoy the rest of summer.
