Smoke blankets Calgary area as air quality warning urges caution

The wildfire-induced smoke currently blanketing the Calgary area, is so bad Environment Canada is telling people to go back inside, in an air quality warning issued early Wednesday. "During heavy smoke conditions, everyone's health is at risk regardless of their age or health status," the agency said. "Limit time outdoors. Reschedule or cancel outdoor sports, activities and events." Weather expert Kyle Brittain said we are experiencing an accumulation. "This smoke has been generated over several days," Brittain told the Calgary Eyeopener Wednesday morning. The Calgary Eyeopener 's original plans for a walking show through Bowness had to be cancelled at the last minute because of the air quality. "We've got a number of massive wildfires burning across the landscape from northeastern British Columbia to northwestern Ontario. The fires in northeastern BC and northern Alberta have been smoking the last few days and they have generated this massive reservoir of smoke that is sitting over a lot of the continent. A lot of this smoke has hitched a ride in the jet stream over to Europe causing the sun to look red over there, so it is everywhere," Brittain said. Fire bans issued or expanded in parts of Alberta 2 days ago Duration 1:02 Fire bans are being imposed across Alberta as dry winds and warm weather increase the risk of wildfires throughout the province. The restrictions now include areas surrounding Calgary. Environment Canada is recommending masks. "If you must spend time outdoors, limit the time as much as possible," EC said. "A well-constructed, well-fitting and properly worn respirator type mask (such as a NIOSH-certified N95 or equivalent respirator) can reduce your exposure to the fine particles in the smoke. Even though exposure may be reduced, there can still be risks to health."

CBC is coming to Bowness

Tuesday, June 11, 2025 | Live from 6 to 8:30 a.m. The Calgary Eyeopener pounds the pavement once again for a "walking show" on June 11. This time, Loren McGinnis, Angela Knight and the crew are in Bowness, marking one year since the city approved a blanket zoning change that promises to densify Calgary and change the look and feel of certain neighbourhoods. In Bowness, the hammers, saws and sounds of construction ring out as old homes go down, and new ones go up. Over the course of the program, the show will wander around the community touching on its past, present and future.
