PHOTOS: Blanket of wildfire smoke creates eerie skies in Ontario and Quebec

Wildfire smoke has reached Ontario and Quebec skies as hundreds of active wildfires in both provinces continue to produce significant smoke plumes.

A strong jet stream has transported the smoke southeast, with parts of southern Quebec and Ontario experiencing degraded air quality.
Yellow-coloured air quality warnings are in place for southern Ontario, including in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), and parts of Quebec.
Expect smoky skies and poor air quality on Wednesday and early Thursday in the GTA as the wildfire smoke from northwestern Ontario pushes in.
Smoke may become concentrated at the surface, heightening health risks for those with respiratory conditions.
