A haze covering Winnipeg taken on May 31, 2025. (Gary Robson/CTV News Winnipeg) Wildfire smoke has prompted Environment Canada to issue air quality alerts for the majority of Manitoba, with smoke causing or expected to cause poor air quality and reduced visibility. As of Saturday morning, nearly 20 locations in the province are under an air quality warning which includes communities such as Flin Flon and Bissett that have been ordered to evacuate due to wildfire danger. 'Warm and dry conditions continue support wildfire activity this weekend,' states the air quality warning. 'The smoke will linger for a prolonged period near the source region of the fires.' Residents impacted by the air quality warning are advised to limit time outdoors and cancel outdoor activities. Environment Canada states that everyone's health is at risk during heavy smoke conditions, regardless of age or health status. As of 10 a.m. on Saturday, the air quality health index in Brandon indicates a very high health risk (10+). In Winnipeg, Saturday morning's air quality health index is 3, though the forecast maximum for Saturday and Sunday indicates that a very high health risk (10+) is possible. The last air quality health index available for Flin Flon, a city of roughly 5,000 that was placed under evacuation last Wednesday, reported a high health risk (9) last night.
