Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a special air quality statement for a large portion of the Parkland and Southern Manitoba, including Dauphin.
They say smoke from wildfires continues to produce poor air quality and reduced visibility over a large portion of the province.
The smoke is expected to clear out of southern Manitoba by Wednesday morning.
Until then though you are encouraged to reduce or stop outdoor activities, and contact a health professional if you or someone you know experiences symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing, severe cough, dizziness, or chest pains.
People with lung or heart disease, older adults, children, pregnant people, and people who work outdoors are at higher risk of experiencing health effects caused by wildfire smoke.
