Special Air Quality Statement for Hudson Bay

There is a special air quality statement in effect for the Hudson Bay area. Environment Canada says smoke from forest fires is the reason behind the alert. The weather office says with no precipitation and generally light winds expected for the forseeable future, reductions in visibility may continue until a pattern change early next week. It’s recommended those who are having breathing difficulties stay inside. Residents can call HealthLine 811 for advice on health risks, symptoms and precautions associated with air quality.
