Smoky skies advisory lifted
The Ministry of Environment, in collaboration with the Interior Health Authority, has ended the Smoky Skies Advisory that was issued on August 24th for the Boundary and Kootenay areas.
While some wildfires remain active, the weather system that is moving through the region, accompanied by rain and high winds, has reduced the amount of smoke and improved air quality. These conditions are expected to continue over the next few days.
