Wildfire smoke blanketing Ottawa could linger into Tuesday
Clouds and haze over the ByWard Market in Ottawa. Aug. 4, 2025. (Ted Raymond/CTV News Ottawa) Environment Canada says a cloud of wildfire smoke that is covering the nation's capital could hang overhead into Tuesday. A special air quality statement is in effect for much of the region as smoke continues to affect most of southern and eastern Ontario. 'The wildfire smoke may persist into tonight and possibly Tuesday before finally easing,' Environment Canada says. '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) for Ottawa was 5, or moderate, at 10 a.m. It is expected to remain around a 5 for most of the day before dropping to a 4, still in the moderate risk category, overnight. The forecast for Monday calls for widespread smoke with a high of 27 C and a humidex of 32. The UV index is 7, or high. Expect a few clouds overnight and low of 15 C. Tuesday's forecast is cloudy in the morning, clearing in the afternoon, with a high of 27 C and a humidex of 32. The AQHI is forecast to drop to 3, or low risk, on Tuesday. Wednesday's outlook is partly cloudy with a 30 per cent chance of showers and a high of 29 C. Ways to deal with smoke Environment Canada says there are ways to deal with wildfire smoke, both inside and outside your home. 'Actions can include using a clean, good quality air filter in your ventilation system and/or a certified portable air cleaner that can filter fine particles,' the weather agency 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.'

Wildfire on Vancouver Island continues to grow
Social Sharing A wildfire on Vancouver Island continues to burn out of control, growing to 494 hectares as of Monday morning. The Wesley Ridge fire was discovered Thursday, according to the B.C. Wildfire Service (BCWS). It is burning on the north banks of Cameron Lake, about 50 kilometres northwest of Nanaimo, B.C. The service said "challenging fire behaviour" was observed Sunday. An evacuation order is still in effect for 393 mostly residential properties in the area. The order requires residents to leave immediately. Another 238 properties are under evacuation alert, meaning residents need to be ready to leave at a moment's notice. There are 67 BCWS personnel responding to the Wesley Ridge fire, along with seven helicopters. A number of other fire departments from across Vancouver Island are also battling the blaze, and helping with structure defence, according to the latest update from the wildfire service. The service noted visibility in the area is limited due to the smokey conditions and said it will update the size of the fire as conditions permit. Dimitri Vaisius, deputy incident commander with the wildfire service, said in a communications video that crews had a "pretty successful" day on Sunday for structure protection near a number of homes. He said "night-viz" helicopters have been "extremely helpful" for identifying hot spots around structures in the night. Highway 4 remains open, but the B.C. Ministry of Transportation has warned travellers between Parksville and Port Alberni to be mindful of "potential sudden changes" that could cause delays. Traffic personnel are in place to respond "if a change or interruption to the flow of traffic on the highway is needed by the B.C. Wildfire Service as it battles the Wesley Creek blaze." For the most up-to-date information, visit DriveBC's website. The Wesley Ridge fire is suspected to be human-caused, which is how any wildfire not sparked by lightning is categorized. There are 137 active wildfires burning across the province, according to the BCWS.
