Much of northwestern Ontario is being impacted by a smokey sky today.
It’s coming from active forest fires in Ontario’s Far North region and eastern Manitoba.
That could cause problems for those with breathing conditions like asthma, children and seniors.
Advisories have been issued by both the Environment Canada and the National Weather Service in the U.S.
A site that tracks smoke from forest fires across the world suggests the smoke will linger in our region for a while.
The heaviness of the smoke will be dependent upon changing wind direction.
