According to Environment Canada, conditions are set to improve first in the west of the city, before moving to the east.
“Air quality and visibility due to wildfire smoke can fluctuate over short distances and can vary considerably from hour to hour,” the special air quality statement said.
Swiss air quality technology company IQAir ranked Toronto as the fifth worst air quality in the world on Saturday morning, behind Montreal and ahead of Washington, D.C.
The air quality statement ended by around 10:30 a.m. on Saturday.
