Air quality advisory issued for Ottawa; smog warning for Gatineau

BedSharkPal, 10 months ago (edited 10 months ago)

Anyone have any historical data on the air quality in Ottawa? I can't remember the air being the bad for this long before and I'm curious what the historical context is.

I’ve heard (please take this with a huge grain of salt) that there’s wildfires in Quebec every year, but usually the wind pushes the smoke east / northeast.

Meanwhile my neighbors have no problem burning wood in a campfire when our houses are 10 feet apart. 🤪

Are you outside of the city? Is there no burn ban in place?

There is a burn ban in place for the entire municipality as of the end of last week
