The smoke just seemed to get stronger so checked my AQI app. Sure enough.
My closest station reads 162. I have seen higher but still unhealthy.

Fair to report the AQHI as given by Environment Canada but it is a terrible index in my opinion. I use AQI since it does not top out. This business of going 10 and then 10+ means anything even worse always just stays at 10+.
Said my 3 cents Canadian.
However, in the city there are two station which perhaps need some calibration. They were at 3 and 2 earlier. Now, they have made it up to 15 and 14. The ONLY two stations down there in the green.
Reading 14 now when you can see the haze of smoke against the houses across the street is laughable. Perhaps they think they can push the average down doing this. A Q test would toss these data points out.

From the same app, here is a view across the city of Edmonton. Most reading are in the 100 to 200 range.
