Smithers residents can breathe a little easier.
The environment ministry has ended an air quality advisory for the town.
But high levels of fine particulate are keeping air advisories in place for Houston and Vanderhoof.
People with chronic medical conditions should postpone strenuous exercise until the advisory is lifted.
Those with heart or lung disease, diabetes as well as the elderly and infants are the most vulnerable to fine particulate exposure.
Woodstove use is banned within the District of Houston during the advisory unless it’s the only source of heat.
