Despite a good amount of rain this morning in Airdrie (August 14th), smoke is still causing issues for the city.

Environment Canada issued another Air Quality Statement today as a result of smoke that made its way to Airdrie from the BC Wildfires.

The Air Quality Health Index is set to reach 7 for today, which is in the high risk category.

The smoke is expected to taper off by tomorrow with the health index dropping to the low numbers (3 or lower).
