What's Happening with Calgary's Air Quality? Latest Updates on Wildfire Smoke Impact

Check out the latest updates on the air quality situation in Calgary and other parts of Alberta due to wildfire smoke from British Columbia.

Calgary and other parts of Alberta have been experiencing unusual air quality issues recently due to wildfire smoke from northeastern British Columbia. The Calgary Minor Soccer Association had to cancel games with a start time before 2 p.m. on Sunday due to poor air quality. However, there is some relief in sight as Environment and Climate Change Canada predicts that conditions will improve by Monday as the smoke moves northeastward.

The smoky conditions in Calgary, which stemmed from a fire in northeastern B.C., have significantly improved, leading Environment Canada to end the special air quality statement for the area. Unfortunately, the smoky skies have returned to Alberta as wildfires continue to spread, casting a shadow over the province's skies.

Central Alberta, including Red Deer and Ponoka, has also been affected by the wildfire smoke, prompting an air quality advisory. Cochrane and Edmonton regions are not spared either, with special air quality statements issued due to the smoke drifting from northeastern B.C.

In summary, the air quality in various parts of Alberta, including Calgary, is currently being impacted by wildfire smoke from British Columbia. Residents are advised to stay updated on air quality advisories and take necessary precautions to protect their health and well-being.
