We're just riding a wave of up and down air quality since Saturday evening (clearing up again now this morning):

Growing up in Northern Alberta this was not uncommon but it seems to be a more frequent occurrence in the southern regions. But I don't think i ever recall it being smoky this early in the year even when i was a kid.

Slave Lake in 2011 and Ft. Mac in 2016 were both in May.

To me it feels like northern wildfire season is in Spring and southern wildfire season is in summer. Which means smokey air season ends up being Spring and summer.

Sounds like certain neighborhoods at this time:

"The evacuation order is in effect for the neighbourhoods of Beacon Hill, Abasand, Prairie Creek, and Grayling Terrace."

A bunch of those neighbourhoods were burnt to the ground in 2016
