Wildfire smoke concentrations can fluctuate over short distances and vary considerably from hour to hour. Manitoba Health says wildfire smoke can be harmful to everyone's health even at low concentrations. 

Stop outdoor activities and contact your health care provider if you or someone in your care experiences shortness of breath, wheezing (including asthma attacks), severe cough, dizziness or chest pains. Stay inside if you are feeling unwell and experiencing symptoms.
