The #AirQualityAdvisory for #MetroVancouver and @FVRD1 is now ended. An advisory for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) was in effect since Sept 8. AQ has improved due to cleaner marine air flowing into the region. Localized pockets of smoke may remain.

You may not see Transit Police officers on your bus, but that doesn't mean help won't be there if you need it. If you're worried about your safety or the safety of someone else, call 604.515.8300 or text 87.77.77 and someone will respond right away. Always call 911 in emergency.

Nearly 1/3 of doctors, residents and #meded students report #burnout or #depression in their career. THIS 👏 MUST 👏 CHANGE 👏 That's why we are launching the Physician Wellness Hub—a collection of resources spanning 22 priority topics: bit.ly/3hpIr89 #CDNhealth

As smoke continues to blanket southern Vancouver Island, the Greater Victoria Teachers Association is calling for an immediate closure of all schools in the district until air quality returns to safe levels. vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/greater-victor…

Researchers and teachers are sharing their preliminary observations from the safe #school simulation. They hope these key learnings can help schools as they progress into the school year and adjust to a new normal #SKResearch sickkids.ca/AboutSickKids/…
