“All Albertans are reminded that air quality can and will vary with weather conditions and prevailing winds, year round,” the health authority said in a statement.

The city’s skyline was covered with a smoky haze from Washington fires for much of the last week.

Calgary’s air quality is currently rated two, or a low risk to health, by both Environment Canada and Alberta Environment.

A city fire ban implemented on August 25 is still in effect.
