Parts of the eastern Fraser Valley have been under an advisory for much longer. Advisories there have been in effect since Aug.13.

Much of the province has been under air quality advisories for nearly two weeks as hundreds of wildfires burn province-wide. This season is now the second-worst on record, behind only last year.
