Environment Canada has issued an air quality advisory for most of the Parkland region, including Dauphin.
They say Wildfire smoke from fires in northern Saskatchewan has moved into west central areas of Manitoba.
Wildfire smoke can cause very poor air quality and reduced visibility, which can fluctuate over short distances and can vary considerably from hour to hour.
They add if your breathing becomes difficult or uncomfortable while outdoors, you should stop or reduce strenuous physical activities.
People with lung diseases, such as asthma and COPD, can be particularly sensitive to the smoke, along with young people and older adults.
