100 Mile House’s Carter Vigh ‘moving mountains’ in push for reliable rural air quality monitor devices
Thanks to Carter Vigh, children in small towns will have access to accurate, life-saving air quality information.
When she walked into the gala, Vigh said it was emotional to see so many posters of Carter and to meet the scientists working to understand lung health. She said she and James were humbled to receive the Dr. Peter Paré Award in Lung Health Excellence Award for making a difference in Carter’s name. “The air quality monitor available to us in 100 Mile actually comes from Williams Lake,” Vigh said. “ you know how different the weather can be from Lone Butte to downtown 100 Mile House, so to have our air quality monitor in Williams Lake or Kamloops is a significant difference.”
Vigh said they plan to have them all installed by March ahead of the wildfire season in B.C. She plans to host a town hall in early 2024 to tell the community how they can apply to get one of the monitors installed in their homes and ways they can build an air purification tool for home use. The first two monitors will be installed at the Vigh household, one inside and one outside, to show how different air quality can be.
