Air quality advisories and an interactive smoke map show Canadians in nearly every part of the country are being impacted by wildfires.

Environment Canada’s Air Quality Health Index ranked several as being at “very high risk” Friday morning. Those cities are Calgary, Edmonton, Regina and Saskatoon. 

But beyond that, according to CTV’s Your Morning meteorologist Kelsey McEwen, smoke is also impacting residents of British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec.

While no formal advisories have been issued, a map from Fire Smoke Canada showed smoke wafting across the entire country. https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/ Based on that data, only a few parts of Canada are spared the smoky skies: central Ontario, northern Nunavut, Prince Edward Island and most of Yukon.

The map also shows smoke wafting across the United States, especially in areas near the Canadian border.

Similar mapping from Environment Canada suggests smoke is expected to be worse in the Prairies and on the Quebec-Labrador border
