Ontario summer day camps face possible disruptions due to air quality.
What that bodes for summer pastimes is still uncertain, but Sheila DeVries expects her kids will spend less time outdoors than last year because of air quality concerns. Both are asthmatic so she specifically chose indoor day camps to limit possible exposure to irritants – dance for her eight-year-old daughter and karate for her 11-year-old son.
“We usually do quite a bit of camping in the summer but we're just kind of taking that day-by-day, weekend-by-weekend. We're assuming that we won't be able to do that hardly at all, with the air quality." Bruce Newbold, chair of the community group Clean Air Hamilton, predicts Canada’s already short season for outdoor summer fun will likely shrink even more as environmental woes deepen.
He says parents should consult Environment Canada’s air quality health index when trying to assess risk, and not just rely on whether they can see or smell smoke in the air. “Generally, contingencies focus on increasing indoor programming to replace outdoor activities and staff remain nimble in implementing contingency plans as needed to ensure the safety of children and youth,” Dan Chenier, general manager of recreation, cultural and facility services, said by email.
