The BC Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy has an Air Quality Advisory in effect for many parts of the southern portion of BC, including the South Okanagan, due to wildfire smoke.

The smoke is being generated primarily by wildfires in the US and in the Okanagan/Interior and the smoky conditions are expected to linger potentially for another day or so. To view the latest smoke forecast, visit www.firesmoke.ca
