Environment Canada advises everyone – especially children, the elderly, and those with lung conditions – to avoid strenuous activities outdoors.

If you have breathing difficulties, you’re advised to stay inside in a cool and ventilated area. If your home isn’t air-conditioned, consider going to a public place (library, shopping mall, recreation centre) that is air-conditioned.
