WINNIPEG A blanket of hazy smoke continues to hang over Winnipeg, it’s the result of forest fires in northwestern Ontario and eastern Manitoba. Tuesday, Environment Canada issued an air quality alert for the city. The move prompted some sports leagues to take a break from the field, and one childcare centre to keep their kids inside. Executive Director of Assiniboine Children’s Centre, Marilyn Valgardson said last week some of her kids were experiencing symptoms from being exposed to the smoke. “The more time we can spend outside the better and the happier we all are. But yesterday for sure we had some real concerns about the air quality,” said Valgardson.
