Vancouver air quality advisory cancelled

Metro Vancouver has ended the ground-level ozone Air Quality Advisory for eastern parts of Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley that has been in effect since Friday, 17 August 2012, authorities say.

Air quality has improved because of the change in weather conditions.

 Reducing air emissions throughout the airshed continues to be important for good air quality.

 Metro Vancouver works in cooperation with Environment Canada, the Fraser Valley Regional District and B.C. Ministry of Environment to look after air quality.
