On Sunday, Environment Canada issued a special air quality statement for Edmonton and Calgary, saying wildfire smoke was causing poor air quality and visibility issues.
Environment Canada reminded people to reduce their time outdoors while smoke is in the air and to take care of their health, especially if they have underlying health conditions.
People were encouraged to keep their indoor air clean as well by keeping windows closed, circulating inside air only and changing out air filters. Major wildfire activity remains in Yellowhead and Brazeau counties, as winds are pushing the smoke south.Story continues below advertisement Calgary’s air quality index is expected to improve by nighttime and even further into Monday, whereas Edmonton’s is expected to remain steady, according to Environment Canada.The Edmonton Elks are set to have their home opener Sunday evening, and the organization says it plans to go ahead with the 5 p.m. kickoff despite the compromised air quality.
