⚠️ Air Quality Update – Smoke Conditions in Hope
Smoke from regional wildfire activity continues to impact air quality in the Hope area. Air quality has worsened since our last update and is currently at a level where everyone may experience health effects, particularly with prolonged outdoor exposure.

If possible:
• Stay indoors and keep windows and doors closed
• Use air conditioning or an air cleaner on recirculate if available
• Reduce or postpone strenuous outdoor activities
• If you must be outdoors for extended periods and smoke is affecting you, consider wearing a well-fitted respirator (such as an N95)
• Check in on neighbours, family members, and others who may be more vulnerable

Conditions can change quickly as wildfire activity and weather patterns evolve. Please continue to monitor official sources for the latest information:
