US EditionAir quality alerts issued for much of Central Canada, Manitoba amid wildfire smoke
ONTARIO, CANADA, JUL 15 – Wildfire smoke from northern Ontario and nearby provinces has degraded air quality across Ontario, with some areas reaching very high risk levels on the Air Quality Health Index, officials said.
- On July 14, 2025, Environment Canada issued air quality warnings throughout large portions of Manitoba and areas within Central Canada due to smoke drifting in from wildfires in the prairie provinces.
- These warnings come after major wildfires in Saskatchewan and Manitoba forced more than 30,000 residents to evacuate and led to emergency declarations across both provinces prior to summer.
- A recent survey shows seven in 10 British Columbians took action to reduce wildfire risk, including clearing hazards and packing evacuation bags.
- Nik Nanos, founder of Nanos Research, said, "the west is ground zero for wildfires," while health officials urge vulnerable people to limit outdoor exposure.
- Authorities advise residents to prepare medical go-kits with prescriptions and respirators, and to seek medical help if smoke symptoms develop.
