Environment Canada issues air quality statements for northeastern B.C. amid wildfires

  • On Saturday, Environment Canada released special air quality alerts for areas in northeastern British Columbia affected by wildfire smoke.
  • The statements followed an early season heat event warning issued Friday, as rising temperatures and wildfire activity worsened air quality conditions.
  • The agency advised residents to limit outdoor time, keep windows closed, use good ventilation filters, and operate portable air cleaners indoors.
  • Environment Canada described the situation as involving "extreme heat" and an "early season heat event," with temperatures reaching low 30s Celsius on parts of the coast.
  • These measures aim to reduce health risks as wildfire smoke and heat could persist for several days, presenting ongoing challenges to affected communities.
