A new reality for summer day camps: 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." He says that’s especially true for communities in southern Ontario and Atlantic Canada that are only recently getting a taste of the wildfire havoc that more typically plagues western provinces.
A spokesperson for the City of Toronto said its CampTO programs are prepared to move indoors if air quality is deemed too low and public health guidelines require program changes.
