B.C. fire smoke wafts into Alberta, Saskatchewan; air quality advisories issued
CALGARY — Wildfires burning in British Columbia have been causing smoky conditions in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Alberta Health Services issued precautionary air-quality advisories for its north and Calgary zones on Sunday, and in its Edmonton and Central zones last week.
David Strong, medical health officer for the health agency’s Calgary zone, said all parts of Alberta should be aware of potential health risks from the haze.
“We pretty much have a provincewide precautionary air advisory, because there’s no predicting where that smoke is going to go to,” he said Monday.
