Smoky, dangerous air is settling over parts of western Quebec and eastern Ontario this morning and the number of forest fires burning across Canada is creeping higher once again.

From North Bay through Ottawa-Gatineau to Montreal the Air Quality Health Index (AQHI) is again over the top of its range at 10+.

Athletic events and St. Jean Baptise events are being canceled.

    It was pouring last night in the Valley, but it didn’t seem to do much for the smoke… still here this morning :(

      The levels did drop significantly overnight in Petawawa but still extremely high. Pouring rain for about half an hour this morning didn’t seem to have any effect…
