Wildfires in the Prairies affecting air quality across Canada
Poor air quality fuelled by wildfires burning across the Prairies left a large swath of the country enveloped in a haze again on Saturday, but Environment Canada said the situation is expected to improve over the weekend. Parts of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador were experiencing poor air quality and reduced visibility due to the wildfires, a situation expected to continue through Sunday. Environment Canada meteorologist Jean-Philippe Bégin said there's some good news: A low-pressure system passing through the Prairies — currently in northern Saskatchewan and expected to move into Manitoba and northwestern Ontario by Monday — is expected to bring precipitation for areas hit by out-of-control forest fires. That system is not expected to bring much relief in northern Alberta, however, where there is little rain in the forecast. On Saturday, the agency's air quality index listed some cities like Toronto and Montreal as having a moderate to high risk. The index, which measures air quality in relation to quality of health, rates it between one and 10. Much of Ontario remained under special air quality statements or warnings on Saturday. Southern Ontario, which had been under an air quality statement on Thursday and Friday, saw that lifted early Saturday morning. For Quebec, a weak cold front should help matters in eastern Quebec, including the province's North Shore. The situation should improve into Sunday in Montreal and in southern Quebec. A high concentration of fine particles in the air can be harmful to health and the air quality situation is far worse in areas where fires are burning, Bégin said. "In no region of Quebec do we have concentrations above 100 micrograms per cubic metre," he said. "Near the fires in northwestern Ontario, northern Manitoba, northern Saskatchewan, northern Alberta, we have in some places, definitely more than 100 micrograms per cubic metre, and we have up to 600 micrograms per cubic metre, so the air quality is quite dangerous there." In Montreal, public health officials were advising residents to keep windows closed, reduce outdoor activities and limit non-essential travel. While the entire population is affected by air quality, the most vulnerable include children under the age of five, pregnant women, the elderly and anyone suffering from heart or respiratory issues.

B.C. wildfire fighters experience slight reprieve, but more wind on horizon
Social Sharing The B.C. Wildfire Service said that firefighters experienced a slight reprieve battling one of its most concerning blazes on Saturday, and it was seeing stable skies in the parched northeast corner of the province. However, another cold front is expected to bring high winds starting Sunday night into Monday, and conditions remain hot and dry across B.C. In addition, motorists in the far north are being encouraged to check the status of the Alaska Highway (Highway 97) that continues to be threatened by a raging wildfire. For the Kiskatinaw River wildfire in the northeast on the B.C.-Alberta border, however, firefighters say that forecasted high winds overnight on Friday did not materialize. "We had calmer winds overnight than we expected and there was very minimal fire behaviour," fire information officer Karley Desrosiers said Saturday morning. "So limited growth [is] expected." The blaze covered an area of 130.6 square kilometres as of Saturday afternoon, and it has resulted in evacuation orders for more than 50 properties in the community of Kelly Lake. Highway 52 East remains closed due to the blaze, which has jumped the B.C.-Alberta border and is burning close to the Pembina Steeprock gas processing facility. "The fire does remain to the north of Kelly Lake and the south of Kelly Lake, but not has not made it to the community itself," Desrosiers said. "We do have structural protection personnel continuing to work in the community to extinguish hot spots as they do occur." WATCH | Evacuation orders in Alberta due to Kiskatinaw River blaze: B.C. wildfire crossing into Alberta prompts wider evacuation order 4 hours ago Duration 4:19 Emelie Peacock, another fire information officer, said that an ongoing heat wave in the southern half of the province was increasing the wildfire danger — but much of the province's fire activity is concentrated in the north. As of Saturday afternoon 64 of the province's 69 active fires were located in the northeast section of the province. "Luckily, today we're seeing just some smoky conditions, but pretty stable skies," Peacock said Saturday. However, Peacock warned that another cold front would come in on Sunday, bringing high winds and adding to hot and dry conditions. "This challenging weather, it's bringing winds of 30 to 50 [km/h], gusting up to 75 km/h," she said. "This weather is likely to bring a potential for extreme fire behaviour and fire growth on those currently burning wildfires." Fire jumps Alaska Highway In B.C.'s far north, multiple fires are burning in the area of Fort Nelson — some of which burned through the winter and re-emerged this spring. The Summit Lake wildfire is burning close to the Alaska Highway (Highway 97) west of Fort Nelson, and has resulted in evacuation orders for a stretch of properties along the highway. Fire information officer Madison Dahl said that the fire grew on its southwest flank overnight on Saturday and crossed the highway in that area, and further growth wasn't unexpected. It covers an area of 106.6 square kilometres as of Saturday afternoon. "Crews today are focusing their efforts on ensuring that the active flame front, and any danger trees adjacent to Highway 97, don't pose a risk to public safety," she told CBC News on Saturday. "We want to ensure that the wildfire has not impacted the integrity of Highway 97 and that we can safely allow for for travel for people in that corridor." DriveBC has the latest information for Highway 97. With no detour available, Dahl urged commuters in the area to be patient. "We are doing our best to facilitate safe travel, but again, safety is our number one priority and unless it is safe to do so, the highway will remain closed," she said. Meanwhile, the Fort Nelson First Nation issued an evacuation order for the Kahntah area on Friday evening and upgraded an evacuation alert for the Fontas area due to nearby fires.
