The health board in Nunavik, the Inuit region of northern Quebec, issued a smoke alert for two communities on Tuesday as forest fires continue to affect air quality in the province. “The air quality is affected in some communities due to smoke plumes from forest fires in Quebec,” the Nunavik Regional Board of Health and Social Services (NRBHSS) said in a statement. The majority are clustered southwest of the Nunavik region and were listed as under control. However, throughout the summer, the winds have periodically driven the smoke as far south as Montreal, and as far north as Nunavik.
