Smoke from wildfires in northwestern Ontario is causing very poor air quality and reduced visibility. Poor air quality may persist into Friday.

###

During heavy smoke conditions, everyone’s health is at risk regardless of their age or health status.

Limit time outdoors. Reschedule or cancel outdoor sports, activities and events.

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.

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.

<p>For the first time in nearly 25 years, Lambton County has updated its logo.
 
Communications and Marketing Coordinator Jay Van Klinken says it's a refreshed version of the original with all the same components.
 
He says it was time for change.

Van Klinken says documents with the old logo will still be used while the county makes the transition, but all new publications will have the newer look.
 
The original logo was approved by County Council in December 1990.
