Information kit on Wildfires

August 8, 2023

Canada is warming faster than the global rate, providing ideal conditions for more frequent and longer wildfire smoke events. In Canada, wildfire season typically runs from early April to late October.

Health Canada has developed the information kit attached to help support the work of public health professionals at all levels, as well as communications to the general public, so that people in Canada can take appropriate action when wildfire smoke levels are high. Best practices from across the country were collected to be included in the information kit.
