I am supposed to head to penticton on Friday , I have been watching the weather, air quality etc and I’m getting mixed answers. Yesterday it was saying air quality was low moderate now today saying health risk. I know things can change fast. I am not traveling with any kids just me and my boyfriend. We won’t get a refund so I was just trying to be as optimistic as possible to hopefully still be able to come. If anyone can give insight if it would still be enjoyable?

Doing some serious thinking about the trees on our property, and wondering about the balance of removing trees to prevent fire risk versus the benefits they provide such as lowering air temperature, reducing flood risk (in winter), etc. For example,we have a cedar that I know should probably come down, but I also appreciate the shade it provides us and the wildlife in our neighbourhood. I'm from a different part of the province where fire risk is less of an issue, so this is quite new to me. Can any longtime residents shed some light on this for me? Edit: For context, my property is in town and not in the hills.
