The smoky skies are expected to last until early Monday as easterly winds continue to push smoke from B.C.’s Interior toward Vancouver Island.
Smoky conditions continued in Greater Victoria on Sunday, as air quality advisories were in place for most of Vancouver Island.
Advisories were in place for Greater Victoria, the Southern Gulf Islands, Inland Vancouver Island, East Vancouver Island on North Vancouver Island. A moderate risk means that most people will not need to alter usual outdoor activities unless they have symptoms such as coughing and throat irritation, though people at risk should “consider reducing or rescheduling strenuous activities outdoors,” according to Environment Canada, who set out the recommendations in consultation with Health Canada.
