Edmonton fire officials said Saturday that there were generator issues causing black smoke at Canada Place.

This marks the second time in August when the generator caused issues at that building — on Aug. 16, crews were called to the area to investigate smoke.

At that time, it was found to be an issue with the backup generator.

On Saturday, fire officials said people in the area of the building should not be concerned and the smoke may be visible until around 3 p.m.
