Data from one-year outdoor air quality pilot program now available

June 17, 2025

The City of Spruce Grove participated in a sponsored one-year outdoor air quality monitoring pilot, which collected data from March 5, 2024 to March 24, 2025. Liveable Cities, Innovative Solutions Canada & Environment and Climate Change Canada sponsored many municipalities across Canada, providing them with the air quality sensors and the monitoring for a one-year period at no cost to the municipality.

For the pilot, twenty-six outdoor air quality sensors (SLX-PARTICULATE) were installed by FORTIS on FORTIS owned street lights throughout the City. The sensors recorded fine particulate matter in the air (PM2.5 and PM10).

At the conclusion of the trial, the City decided to end the pilot and remove the sensors. The completed recorded data measurements from the pilot is available online.
