Smoky conditions caused by forest fires have prompted Environment Canada to issue air quality advisories for parts of Manitoba.
A special air quality statement is in effect for most of the province, with the exception of some regions in northern Manitoba.
Environment Canada says that numerous forest fires in northwestern Ontario and eastern Manitoba are causing poor visibility and air pollution across much of the province. The smoke is expected to persist until at least Tuesday, causing very poor air quality at times, the weather agency says.
