Environment Canada issued a special air quality statement earlier this week for various parts of the province, including Edmonton, because the Air Quality Health Index would reach high risk levels.

The smoke was expected to last into Friday night, but the weather agency issued another special air quality statement Saturday.

The affected regions are warned that wildfire smoke is causing poor air quality and reducing visibility.
