It’s another ‘spare the air’ day as a smog advisory is expanded to the eastern part of the province.
Toronto’s air quality index is in the moderate range right now. A stagnant weather pattern and pollutants from the U.S. and Ontario have blanketed the city with bad air. Weather officials warn heavy outdoor exercise may cause eye irritation and breathing problems. Everyone is being asked to carpool or take public transit. The high pollution levels are expected to subside by Friday.

With the official start of summer just weeks away, Calgary has been hit with about five cm of heavy, wet snow. Parts of western Alberta could actually see up to 20 cm of the white stuff. The wind chill brings the temperature to a very cold -5.
