About Us

Breathe Clean Air Comox Valley was started by a group of citizens concerned about the health impacts of wood smoke in the Valley.

Our volunteers are from all three municipalities and other areas of CVRD.

We currently have no external funding to support our work. If you'd like to contribute, please use the "Support Our Work" button at the top of the page. Contributions will be used for copying, advertising, room rental and other expenses consistent with our vision.

 

Our Vision

All residents are be able to breathe clean air, in the Valley and in our neighbourhoods.

Comox Valley is celebrated for the cleanest air on Vancouver Island.
