Aug 23, 2018 | 7:44 AM
NANAIMO — Take in that fresh air.
The province pegged the Nanaimo-Parksville area’s Air Quality Health Index at a level 2, or a low health risk early Thursday morning.
The government projected level 3 air quality (low health risk) in the Nanaimo region throughout the rest of Thursday and Friday.
A shift to cleaner air followed more than three days of some of the worst air quality in the province in the Nanaimo area, dominated by dense wildfire smoke.
