OTTAWA — Persistent drought and months of above-average temperatures have escalated the risk of another record-breaking wildfire season, federal ministers said Wednesday as they warned about the urgent need to address climate change.
The snowpack is averaging 63 per cent of normal across the province as of April 1 — the lowest average since 1970. The data comes as the Ottawa warns of a potentially devastating wildfire season.
B.C. experienced its lowest snowpack since 1970 this winter, with the Island receiving just 49 per cent of normal snow levels.
