Welp I was gonna head up north for Canada day but that isn't looking like a good plan anymore. This is a picture of my hometown of La Ronge, at approximately 7:30 yesterday evening. Should be daylight out but the smoke is very thick from all the wildfires, and ash covers the streets. Looks like Silent Hill kind of. The weather will continue to be hot and dry so I don't know how bad it will get. It's really beautiful up there though and I was planning on camping but that looks out of the question atm. Hopefully the fires spare all the communities. I have family up there firefighting.
In fact the fires are so bad that the smoke is affecting out air quality 500 km south in Saskatoon. The air quality is rated 10+ (horrible) on the index so I don't want to go for a run anymore. A shame really. I relly hope things work themselves out up there. Wildfires are a normal occurence for us in Northern Canada but it looks pretty bad right now.
