Environment Canada warns of ‘poor air quality' in Calgary

Environment and Climate Change Canada issued an air quality advisory for the city of Calgary on June 11, 2025. Wildfire smoke has created hazardous conditions in Calgary, prompting Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) to issue an air quality warning for the city. The agency issued the alert at 4:05 a.m. when the Air Quality Health Index was 10+, or very high risk. Under these conditions, ECCC says 'everyone's health is at risk.' 'Limit time outdoors. Reschedule or cancel outdoor sports, activities and events,' ECCC wrote online. 'You may experience mild and common symptoms such as eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches or a mild cough. More serious but less common symptoms include wheezing, chest pains or severe cough. 'If you think you are having a medical emergency, seek immediate medical assistance.' The agency also said residents should close windows and doors while they are indoors and consider changing the filter on their ventilation system. If anyone needs to be outside, ECCC recommends using a properly fitted respirator type mask, such as a NIOSH-certified N95 mask that can protect from fine particles in the air. ECCC advises residents to check on anyone else who may be more susceptible to smoke. 'People more likely to be impacted by wildfire smoke, including people aged 65 and older, pregnant people, infants and young children, people with an existing illness or chronic health condition, and people who work outdoors, should avoid strenuous activities outdoors and seek medical attention if experiencing symptoms.'
