Back-to-school often means a spike in asthma symptoms.

If an asthma attack happens, follow the CARE asthma framework we developed in partnership with Asthma Canada:

Calm: Keep the person CALM and reassure them.

Air: Sit them upright and encourage slow breathing to ensure AIR reaches their lungs.

Rescue inhaler: Help them find and use their RESCUE INHALER (usually blue). If available, use a spacer to help the medicine reach the lungs more effectively.

Emergency: Call EMERGENCY SERVICES (911) if there is no inhaler or no improvement after using the inhaler.

Check out even more resources on our website or via our friends at Asthma Canada.

Healthy lungs should not depend on where you live, your background or the opportunities available to you.

Our Strategic Plan recognizes the importance of promoting equity in lung health. Too many Canadians face increased risks from factors like to***co and va**ng exposure, poor air quality and barriers that affect overall access to prevention and care.

The air we breathe plays a major role in our lung health. 🫁

Air pollution is a major public health concern, contributing to millions of deaths each year and affecting communities around the world.

From outdoor sources like wildfires, vehicle emissions and industrial activity to indoor pollutants in our homes and workplaces, the air around us can have a significant impact on our health.

By understanding air quality and the factors that affect it, we can take steps to better protect our lungs and the people around us.

Learn more about air quality and how you can support your lung health on our website.

Your left and right lungs aren’t *exactly* the same.

The lung on the left side of your body is divided into two lobes, while the lung on your right side is divided into three.

Fun fact: The left lung is also slightly smaller to allow room for your heart! ❤️
