Vancouver B.C. (1 August\u00a02017)<\/p>\n

Just over half of Vancouverites (54%) have been affected in some way by British Columbia’s wildfires according to a Justason Market Intelligence poll conducted in late July. The poll, released for public education purposes, finds 46% of City residents have not been affected.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

East\u00a0Side residents are significantly more likely than West\u00a0Side residents to have been affected by the wildfires (61% vs. 47%).<\/p>\n

Air quality concerns<\/strong> prevail among the plurality as the most common impact.<\/p>\n

One-quarter (24%) say\u00a0friends or family have been directly affected<\/strong>, this level far higher among East than West Side residents (31% vs. 18%). One-in-five (20%) have donated to the cause<\/strong>, while 10% have changed their travel plans<\/strong> because of the wildfires.<\/p>\n
