It's wildfire season, which means smoky summer skies are back in many parts of Canada, including northwestern Ontario. Several parts of the region are under a special air quality statement from Environment and Climate Change Canada. Much of northwestern Ontario is under a special air quality statement due to wildfire smoke from the Canadian Prairies."Smoke is causing or expected to cause poor air quality and reduced visibility," says the statement.
"Mild irritation and discomfort are common, and usually disappear when the smoke clears. Drinking lots of water can help your body cope with the smoke," the statement said.Hopes April showers mitigate fire risks in northwestern Ontario as wildfire season begins
