Environment Canada has issued an air quality statement saying wildfire smoke is causing poor air quality and reduced visibility over central Saskatchewan, including Saskatoon. The conditions will periodically continue until early Wednesday morning when a south wind will move the smoke back towards northern sections of the province. Individuals may experience symptoms such as increased coughing, throat irritation, headaches or shortness of breath. Children, seniors, and those with cardiovascular or lung disease, such as asthma, are especially at risk. Environment Canada also advises to call HealthLine 811 if you need to for advice on health risks, symptoms and precautions associated with air quality.

The red squares areas are heat warnings and the grey is for the air quality statements.
