Heat and poor air quality continue to be a concern for many in the province, especially with how it affects our bodies and the way we move outdoors in the summer.
As well as the tragic consequences of wildfires and heat domes, these also impact regular activity that contributes to our health and wellness. It limits the kind of activities we can do safely outdoors that get our hearts pumping and our bodies moving. It means older adults, families with young kids, and people living with respiratory issues or chronic conditions have a harder time.
