Wildland fire smoke advisory

Northwestern Ontario residents are advised that smoke from the Kenora 14 wildland fire, located approximately 12 kilometres north of Wabaseemoong Independent Nation and 60 kilometres
northwest of Kenora, will affect air quality as winds from the northwest push the smoke south.
