Hastened by dry conditions throughout the summer, a total of 1.9 million hectares were burned by 493 wildfires over the course of 2023 – most in the province’s north.
Described as “one of the busiest seasons” in recent memory by members of the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA), climate change was identified as one of the factors leading to an increase of fires and their severity.
In September, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) reported that Regina had broken its 2021 record of 184 smoke hours by a large margin, recording 223.
