Air Quality Health Index

Baseball Saskatchewan has determined that any Air Quality of 10 or more will mean cancellation of games. Baseball Saskatoon will monitor the air quality and make a decision by 4:30pm on game days.

  1. Low Risk (1-3): Air quality is considered good, and outdoor activities can proceed as scheduled.
  2. Moderate Risk (4-6): Moderate air quality; activities can continue, but individuals with respiratory conditions should take precautions.
  3. High Risk (7-9): Play is permissible with caution and modified activities. Unhealthy for sensitive individuals and groups; consider rescheduling or modifying outdoor activities.

At-risk individuals, including those with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions, should not participate in outdoor baseball activities during High-Risk conditions.
  4. Very High Risk (10+): Play is not permissible for a Baseball Sask Event. Very unhealthy; outdoor activities are to be rescheduled if possible, and individuals with health concerns should avoid prolonged exertion.
