Due to the recent wildfires, Environment Canada has issued a Special Air Quality statement for the area.
Smoke is causing poor air quality and reducing visibility in Vanderhoof, resulting in the “Smoky Skies bulletin.”
The smoke isn’t expected to go anywhere soon, so you’re advised to avoid any physically demanding work outside and to stay indoors with windows closed.
Current windy conditions are also a concern throughout the area.
