About Us

Building Resilience to Emerging Airborne Threats and Heat Events

Throughout 2024, the 丁香园AV BREATHE Team and BC Lung Foundation are supporting communities in their preparations for the wildfire and respiratory pathogen seasons. Workshops are being hosted throughout Metro Vancouver, Fraser Valley, the Sunshine Coast, and the Interior of BC. 

These sessions are held for people vulnerable to the health impacts of wildfire smoke exposure, particularly older adults, new and expecting mothers, people unable to afford commercial air cleaners, and those living with lung and heart conditions.
