Canadian motorists idle their vehicles about 5-10 minutes/day. If we stop idling, our air will be cleaner and we'll all breathe easier.
The AQHI is an initiative of Environment Canada, Health Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Environment, the ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux du Québec, the ministère du Développement durable, de l'Environnement et des Parcs du Québec, Ottawa Public Health and the Direction de la santé publique de l'Outaouais.
