June 7th, 2023 Important Notice: Park & Splash Pad Closed Due to Air Quality

Important Notice

Based on the poor air quality, the decision has been made to close the park & splash pad today, June 7th,2023. We will continue to monitor and provide updates.

A special air quality statement is in place due to the possibility of deteriorating air quality.

Individuals may experience symptoms such as increased coughing, throat irritation, headaches or shortness of breath. Children, seniors, and those with cardiovascular or lung disease, such as asthma, are especially at risk.

People with lung diseases, such as asthma and COPD, can be particularly sensitive to air pollution. They will generally experience more serious health effects at lower levels. Pollution can aggravate their diseases, leading to increased medication use, doctor and emergency room visits, and hospital visits.

Visit www.airhealth.ca for information on how to reduce your health risk and your personal contribution to pollution levels, as well as for current and forecast AQHI values.
