A walk that gets cut short.
Skipping the playground.
Leaving the festival early.
Keeping the kids inside again.

Poor air quality can quietly change the moments families look forward to most.

For people living with asthma, COPD, or other lung conditions, smoky or polluted air can make even simple outdoor activities stressful. And sometimes, kids start struggling with things they normally do with ease—running, biking, playing, or sports.

That’s why clean air matters.

On Clean Air Day, it’s a reminder that healthier air means more time outside, more community moments, and more freedom to enjoy everyday life.

The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) helps you stay informed about the air around you so you can plan ahead and protect your lung health when conditions change.

Because everyone deserves to breathe easier.

The goal isn't to run 5K. It's to walk to the mailbox without taking a break.

LUNGtivity was built for exactly that. One class a week, gentle movement, designed specifically for people living with lung conditions — not adapted from a general fitness program, built from the ground up for how your lungs actually work.

It will run in two areas in Winnipeg. And the people showing up aren't training for anything. They're just trying to feel a little more capable in their own bodies.
If the mailbox feels far right now, LUNGtivity is where you start getting it back.

Sign up TODAY as summer classes start next month!

Most people don’t start va**ng thinking about addiction.

​It starts as curiosity. Stress. Boredom. Fitting in. Something to do between classes or while scrolling at night. And then one day, it’s just… part of the routine.

​World No To***co Day is a reminder that ni****ne addiction doesn’t always look serious at first — especially for youth. If va**ng has become something you rely on more than you want to, you’re not alone. And support is here when you’re ready.

Summer is here.
​​The fire’s going.
The marshmallows are out.
And suddenly, you’re reaching for your inhaler again.

​Campfire smoke, pollen, and outdoor allergens can make camping weekends harder for people living with asthma or allergies — even during moments that are supposed to feel relaxing.

​Sometimes the fresh air doesn’t feel so fresh.

​During Asthma & Allergy Awareness Month, it’s a good reminder to pack your inhaler, check in on your breathing, and pay attention to symptoms when spending time outdoors.

Air quality affects everyone—but for some, it can have a bigger impact.

Children, older adults, and people with asthma or other lung conditions are more sensitive to changes in air quality. Even moderate air pollution levels can trigger symptoms like coughing, shortness of breath, or irritation.

The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) helps you understand that risk and take action early. When levels rise, it’s a signal to reduce exposure—whether that means rescheduling outdoor time, keeping windows closed, or creating a cleaner indoor environment.

Want to know what the air is like in your community right now?
Check the live AQHI map to see real-time conditions near you and make informed decisions for you and your family.

You can’t control the air outside—but you can control how you respond to it.

Check the map. Take simple steps. Protect the people you love.

New building codes are helping make homes healthier from the start.

Newly constructed homes will now include passive radon systems, designed to make it easier to manage radon if needed. It’s an important step forward in protecting the air you breathe at home.

But every home is different—and radon levels can vary, even between neighbouring houses.

That’s why testing is still the most important step.

A simple test gives you clear, reliable information about your home so you can make informed decisions with confidence. And if action is ever needed, those built-in systems help make mitigation easier.

You don’t have to guess when it comes to your home and your health.
Test your home. Know your level. Protect the people you love.

You check the weather before heading out—air quality should be part of that routine too.

The Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) gives you real-time insight into how the air around you could affect your health. On higher-risk days, exercise, yard work, or even a walk can put extra strain on your lungs.

By checking the AQHI, you can adjust your plans—like choosing a lower-intensity activity, taking more breaks, or moving indoors when needed. Small changes can make a big difference, especially during wildfire smoke or high pollution days.

You don’t need to guess. You don’t need to wait until you feel it.

Check the AQHI. Plan ahead. Protect your lungs.
