Wildfire smoke prompts air-quality warnings for much of Central Canada and Manitoba

July 14, 2025

Heavy smoke and thick fumes triggered air-quality alerts in vast swaths of the country Monday, as some areas in Western and Central Canada are experiencing one of the most destructive wildfire seasons in recent decades.

Environment and Climate Change Canada is warning people to be aware of smoke exposure, with western winds pushing plumes from Prairie wildfires toward Quebec and Ontario, causing reduced visibility in multiple regions. Residents have been advised to keep their windows and doors closed, limit their time outside, and to reschedule or cancel sports, events and outdoor activities.
