Our response to wildfire smoke is aligned with the guidance from Environment Canada. We refer to the BC Air Quality Index (AQHI), which provides health-related information and recommendations based on the air quality level. This information is updated regularly throughout the day. Recognizing smoke conditions can change rapidly, Principals check the index when making decisions on whether students should go outside or not.

Consequently, when the index indicates the air quality is poor due to smoke, schools and other sites will practice the following strategies to limit the exposure to smoke:

• Allow students and staff who are sensitive to the smoke to remain indoors during breaks/lunch;
• Close all exterior doors and windows;
• Postpone or minimize outdoor activities, as needed, particularly strenuous activities like Physical and Health Education;
• Restrict outdoor activities, when the AQHI index is above 10.

Parents who have inquiries or concerns should contact their school.

In school zones please slow to 30km/h from 8am-5pm on school days and watch for excited kids that may not be watching for you!

Decreasing your speed to 30km/h will only increase your commute a minute or less and help to protect our kids. Will you take a minute to help keep our kids safe?
