Cancellations in southern Wisconsin because of air quality advisory

MADISON (WKOW) — With air quality conditions considered as "unhealthy" to "very unhealthy" across southern Wisconsin, communities and organizations are again canceling or moving activities. 

The state is under an air quality advisory through noon on Thursday, and the DNR says the air could be very unhealthy for everyone as another round of smoke blows through from Canada.

Many cancelations began Tuesday, when the DNR started recommending staying indoors more to protect from the effects of inhaling smoke.
