Air tankers were spotted over Harrison Lake over the weekend.

There was a light haze by Monday afternoon over Agassiz-Harrison but the air at this point remains mostly clear. The Air Quality Health Index indicates the air in the eastern Fraser Valley will tick upward into the moderate risk range. This means residents may wish to consider rescheduling strenuous activities outdoors if they are experiencing respiratory symptoms. Unless there are symptoms like coughing or throat irritation, most people can have their usual activities outside.

As of Monday morning, there are 83 active wildfires in the province.
