Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a Special Air Quality Statement.
Wildfire smoke is causing very poor air quality and reduced visibility which could fluctuate over short distances and can vary from hour to hour.
A combination of the heat along with the poor air quality in the smoke can increase risk to your health.
People more likely to be impacted by wildfire smoke include seniors, pregnant women and pregnant people, people who smoke, infants and young children, people who work outdoors, people involved in strenuous outdoor exercise and people with an existing illness or chronic health condition
Listen to your body and if you experience symptoms, consider reducing or stopping strenuous outdoor activities.
Symptoms can include milder and more common symptoms such as eye, nose and throat irritation, as well as serious but less common symptoms such as chest pains or severe cough.
There are 105 wildfires burning in Saskatchewan this morning and 16 are not contained. There have been 406 so far this year while 274 is the five-year average.
The heat is expected to remain throughout the week,
