The wildfire smoke has snaked its way down the northern parts of the province, and has cast an hazy glare over much of the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland.

Air Quality Health Index rankings have been high for most of the week, reaching 10 or higher in several B.C. communities, and a stunning 47 in Kamloops.
