Air quality in Lac Le Jeune

Air quality is a concern during wildfire season. Did you know there is a monitor in Lac Le Jeune? The installation of a PurpleAir monitor was a collaborative effort by Amie Schellenberg, and Dr. Michael Mehta, Professor of Geography and Environmental Studies at Thompson Rivers University with a research interest in air quality. 

This is a reading from July 17, 2017. As you can see, the reading was 'very unhealthy'. No jogging!

I have been checking "purple air" at LLJ for the past few weeks and have it say it's a great resource to have in our community. Thanks to those who made it possible.
The highest I saw it last week was at 365 - in the hazardous zone!
