Wildfires raging across the province of Ontario have blanketed parts of Canada and the United States in hazardous smoke, disrupting daily life and transport.

As the smoke drifts south into the US, health alerts remain in effect. Experts do expect conditions to improve ahead of the FIFA World Cupfinal near New York.
