Wildfire smoke degrades Manitoba's air quality

Manitoba is under a special air quality advisory due to wildfire smoke, causing poor air quality and reduced visibility across much of the province. Environment Canada issued the advisory early Sunday morning, affecting northern Manitoba, the Interlake region, and the southeast, including Winnipeg. Residents are advised to limit outdoor activities and keep windows and doors closed. The smoke may cause irritation and more severe symptoms. Evacuations are likely in Leaf Rapids, and at least seven homes have been destroyed in Tataskweyak Cree Nation due to the wildfires.
