Environment and Climate Change Canada expects smoke that is widespread in southeastern Saskatchewan to lessen Tuesday and into Wednesday thanks to a high-pressure ridge moving in from the west.
The Air Quality Health Index registered as a 10+, or very high risk, on Tuesday morning. Environment Canada continues to have special air quality statement in effect.
"People with lung disease (such as asthma) or heart disease, older adults, children, pregnant people, and people who work outdoors are at higher risk of experiencing health effects caused by wildfire smoke," said the statement. "Speak with your health care provider about developing a management plan for wildfire smoke events and maintaining a supply of necessary medications at home and always carrying these medications with you during wildfire season."
"Stop or reduce your activity level if breathing becomes uncomfortable or you or someone in your care feel unwell. Contact your health care provider or local health authority if you develop severe symptoms or need advice."
