Wildfire Smoke Triggers Air Quality Alert in B.C.

British Columbia is under an air quality advisory due to widespread wildfire smoke affecting several regions, including the Okanagan, Kamloops, Cariboo south (Williams Lake), Fraser Canyon (Lytton), and parts of Vancouver Island (Nanoose Bay to Fanny Bay, Nanaimo). The Ministry of Environment warns that smoke conditions can shift quickly and urges residents—especially vulnerable populations—to limit outdoor activity. The advisory remains in effect for the next 24–48 hours, with further updates expected Tuesday.
