Canada Wildfire Smoke Closes Perry’s Monument Observation Deck

Canada wildfire smoke prompts update to the Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial Web page:

“Air quality & visibility are extremely unhealthy today and are forecast to remain so throughout the day.  Tours to the observation deck are suspended for the day. Visitor center is open 10am – 6pm. Please limit outdoor activities.”

Visibility around the Bass Islands and on Lake Erie is significantly diminished.  Unhealthy code red and purple conditions prevail in the Midwest.  AirNow reports air quality data using the official U.S. Air Quality Index (AQI), a color-coded index designed to communicate whether air quality is healthy or unhealthy for you.
