A smoky Sunday in the nation's capital
People walk and bike along the Rideau Canal in Ottawa on a hazy day. (CTV News Ottawa) Wildfire smoke is again blanketing Ottawa and is expected to linger throughout the day. This comes as thousands of people are in the capital for the Ironman Canada event. Environment Canada has issued a special air quality statement for the city, saying air quality and visibility due to wildfire smoke can fluctuate over short distances and can vary considerably from hour to hour. The air quality health index (AQHI) was reading as 6, a moderate risk, at 10 a.m. It is forecast to rise to 7, or high risk, in the afternoon and evening before falling to a 5 by Monday. 'You may experience mild and common symptoms such as eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches or a mild cough. More serious but less common symptoms include wheezing, chest pains or severe cough. If you think you are having a medical emergency, seek immediate medical assistance,' Environment Canada says. 'If you must spend time outdoors, a well-constructed, well-fitting and properly worn respirator type mask (such as a NIOSH-certified N95 or equivalent respirator) can reduce your exposure to the fine particles in the smoke. Even though exposure may be reduced, there can still be risks to health.' The forecast for Sunday calls for a high of 28 C with a humidex of 32 and a UV index of 8, or very high, amid widespread smoke. Smoke will linger into the evening and overnight. The low is 15 C. Monday's forecast has widespread smoke in the morning followed by a cloudy afternoon with a 30 per cent chance of showers and a risk of a thunderstorm. The high is 27 C with a humidex of 32. Tuesday's outlook is partly cloudy with a 30 per cent chance of showers and a high of 27 C.

(Stephanie Tsicos/CTV Atlantic) People living in and visiting New Brunswick this August long weekend will not be able to sit around a campfire. Burning is not allowed across the entirety of New Brunswick, according to the province's Fire Watch. The update was shared Saturday at 2 p.m. As a result of the ban, the City of Saint John has cancelled its New Brunswick Day weekend fireworks that were scheduled to take place Sunday night. 'We understand how disappointing this news may be for those who were looking forward to the celebration. The decision was made out of an abundance of caution and with public safety top of mind,' said a news release late Saturday night from the City of Saint John. The province's burning notices are updated daily at 2 p.m. during wildfire season. Nova Scotia A province-wide burn ban was issued for Nova Scotia on Wednesday due to the hot, dry conditions. The fine for violating the ban is $25,000. The province said the ban applies to open fires, including campfires, bonfires, brush fires, fires in chimeneas, and any other fire that is not enclosed and uses wood as the fuel. Non-woodburning devices, like charcoal and gas barbecues and stoves, are allowed to be used. Fireworks have gone ahead as scheduled in Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) over the Natal Day long weekend. According to the Nova Scotia government, fireworks are allowed by professional companies 'that have signed approval from the local authority that has jurisdiction (for example, municipality or fire department) along with the proper fire equipment and measures.' On Saturday, HRM's fireworks were launched on a barge in Halifax Harbour by a team of professionals with safety protocols in place. Fireworks are also scheduled for Monday at 9:30 p.m. in Dartmouth on Lake Banook. Nova Scotia's burn ban will remain in place until Oct. 15 or until conditions improve. Prince Edward Island On Prince Edward Island, there is not currently an outright burn ban. According to the latest update, which was shared Saturday at 2 p.m., domestic brush burning is not permitted between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. These are classified as category one fires and include the burning of tree limbs, leaves, brush, or cut grass. In Prince County, all burning permits are suspended for category two, three and four fires. These are classified as larger fires, sometimes used for the purpose of land-clearing. For Kings and Queens counties, burning permits for category two, three and four fires can be used if wind speeds are under 20 km/h. The province updates its burn restrictions daily at 2 p.m.
