Canadian wildfire smoke now affecting millions across North America
Description
June 7, 2023
It's a reality British Columbians are unfortunately getting used to: wildfire smoke affecting air quality. Smoke has started to creep into Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, but despite an advisory for some areas, it's nowhere near as bad as parts of eastern Canada and the U.S. As Kristen Robinson reports, there are precautions people can take to breathe a little easier.
