An air quality is in advisory for several regions in western Saskatchewan, including Île à la Crosse, Buffalo Narrows, Beauval, La Loche, Clearwater River Provincial Park, Cluff Lake, Meadow Lake, Big River, Green Lake, and Pierceland.
Environment Canada advises that northwest winds are blowing smoke from the Alberta wildfires into the province.
The smoke may reduce visibility, and cause coughing, throat irritation, headaches, or shortness of breath.
Children, seniors, and those with heart or lung disease are especially at risk.
The advisory has ended for a number of regions in the province, including Saskatoon, and Prince Albert.
