The wildfire smoke is putting a damper on fun activities for kids this summer.

Due to ongoing poor air quality in the Lumby area, the Lumby Spray Park and Pool is closed today (July 28) and will remain under monitoring for the rest of the week.

“Staff will continually monitor air quality reports in the Village of Lumby to make the determination on the opening of the pool and spray park,” a Regional District of North Okanagan news release said.

Air quality readings of over 300 ppm taken in the morning and early afternoon will determine the hours of operation.

People are asked to monitor the Village of Lumby and the Lumby Pool Facebook pages for updates.
