Several health advisories have been issued for our area due to smoke from Canadian fires. Officials are now asking Canada to do something.
New York is facing another summer of significant air quality issues due to smoke from Canadian wildfires. North Country Congresswoman, Elise Stefanik, said in a recent post that the scale and severity of these fires continues to raise concerns about Canada's forest mismanagement. She and colleague, Congressman Nick Langworthy, are urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to direct Natural Resources of Canada and the Canadian Forest Service to improve wildfire prevention and response. They also asked for more direct communication and collaboration between agencies on both sides of the border to address this health risk for NY constituents.
