Air Quality Cancellations & Closures

Due to the current air quality conditions, the Municipality of Thames Centre is erring on the side of caution and has closed all outdoor recreational facilities and cancelled all programmed outdoor activities until further notice.

This includes:

  • All baseball diamonds and sports fields
  • Dorchester Community Pool and Wading Pool
  • Splash Pads
  • Dog Parks
  • All scheduled outdoor recreation programs and activities

The health and safety of our staff, participants, residents, and visitors remains our top priority. While these decisions are never easy, we believe they are necessary given the current air quality conditions.

We will continue to monitor the Air Quality Health Index and will advise everyone as soon as conditions improve and it is safe to resume normal operations.
