As the season shifts into spring, Northern Health is reminding municipalities about the ways their operations impact air quality. Road dust can be an issue as the snow melts and winter traction materials dry up. With proper airshed management, planning and policies set in place we can reduce the impact of emissions and air pollution.

Spring Dust Season and Air Quality Considerations

Speakers with ICBC are coming to the Peace Region to deliver presentations to students in the area.

Two speakers, Tiana Tozer and Ted Swan, will be touring northern B.C. to share their stories reflecting the dangers of taking risks while driving. 

The Northern B.C. road safety speaker tour stops in Dawson Creek on April 10 with a presentation at South Peace Secondary.

ICBC reports that youth are involved in about 410 crashes resulting in 80 injuries in northern B.C. every year during graduation season (April to June). 

Pouce Coupe residents are reminded to keep their vehicles off the streets so Public Works can continue carrying out their snow clearing duties. 

In addition to removing snow from in and around the ditches, the Public Works staff will be starting to clear excess snow and ice from culverts in the coming weeks. With spring on the horizon, property owners and residents are also reminded to do their part to help reduce flooding issues by keeping both ends of their driveway culvert clear.
