Despite a blanket of smoke still covering the Ottawa Valley, many Canadians are still packing up the camper to spend this Canada Day long weekend outdoors.
At Bona Vista Campground in Cobden, owner Bonnie Seguin says nobody has called to cancel a reservation due to poor weather.
"We can't have campfires right now. Our campers are making the most of it. We had a couple of days that were pretty smoky, pretty hard to breathe. But you know, once the winds blew in, it turned out to be okay." "I find it very hard. I have masks here available. If I come out and it's really, really bad then I'll have to have a mask on because my breathing gets really tough."Environment Canada says of all the days this Canada Day weekend, Friday will be the worst on the air quality index, with conditions slowly improving.
