US EditionSmoke prevents Yellowknife from holding welcome home celebration
- Yellowknife, the capital of the Northwest Territories, had to cancel a celebration marking the return of residents due to smoke from wildfires. The city had planned a "Welcome Home" gathering with live music, bouncy castles, and a shop-local contest, but poor air quality posed safety concerns, as stated by the city's website.
- Environment and Climate Change Canada issued a special air-quality statement indicating that smoke from the wildfires was causing or expected to cause reduced visibility and poor air quality in Yellowknife. As a response, Yellowknife opened its fieldhouse track and indoor playground to the public for free until the air quality improves.
- Despite the cancellation of the celebration, the shop-local promotion that was part of the event is still ongoing, as mentioned by the city's website. The promotion encourages residents to support local businesses, providing an opportunity for economic recovery after the wildfires and evacuation.
