Smoke from Alberta wildfires is drifting into northern B.C. and Yukon limiting visibility and causing poor air quality.
Environment Canada has continued an air quality statement for the Fort Nelson area.
Forecasters said Tuesday night that both Watson Lake, Yukon and Fort Nelson will be impacted by wildfire smoke from northern Alberta for the next day or so.
A wildfire burning in northern Alberta has forced about five thousand residents of High Level and surrounding Indigenous communities to evacuate.
An update to the air quality situation is expected Wednesday.
