Special air quality statements issued across midwestern Ontario

Wildfire smoke is pouring in across midwestern Ontario.

According to Environment Canada, smoke from fires burning in Northern Ontario is blowing into places like Owen Sound, Saugeen Shores, Hanover, Wingham, Goderich, Stratford, and Listowel.

This has forced the weather agency to issue special air quality statements for the area.

The smoke is expected to blow away on Monday.

Environment Canada is urging people to limit their time outside when there's smoke.
