Windsor-Essex remains under an orange air quality warning.
In LaSalle, mayor Crystal Meloche says the town will not open its outdoor pool on Front Road today.
She says the town is also moving all outdoor activities and camps indoors as a result of the thick air.
Meloche says the town is working with its staff.
“We will also be working to limit staff time outdoors and moving them to also indoor work if possible, limiting anyone’s time outside,” says Meloche. “As everyone knows, the air today is very thick. It’s very hard to breathe, and no one should be out there if they have to be.”
She says town staff continue to monitor the situation.
“Staff have been very proactive in watching things yesterday and trying to shift things this morning as early as they could,” she says.
