Grimshaw is losing its portable air quality monitoring station.
Council heard the news at its May 14 meeting during a presentation by the Peace River Area Monitoring Program (PRAMP). Mike Bisaga, technical program manager, and Shelly Shannon, outreach coordinator, attended on behalf of PRAMP to provide an update for council regarding ongoing air quality monitoring in the North Peace region.
The portable air quality monitoring station was in Grimshaw for two years but will be relocated to Peace River, council heard, but a sensor will remain in Grimshaw to continue data collection.
A large air quality lantern, which displays real-time air quality levels by colour, is located in the Grimshaw Municipal Library.
PRAMP continues to engage with the public by attending local trade fairs, schools, and community events.
