Smokepocalypse: Hazy Calgary in pictures

If you dared to venture outside on Wednesday or Thursday, you likely noticed a pall of smoke hovering low in the city.

The dreary and dark day was the result of smoke from hundreds of wildfires burning in British Columbia.

For the latest on the smoke situation in Alberta, see:'Not good for anybody': Southern Alberta air quality remains 'very high risk' to health.

Environment Canada issued an air quality statement for the entire province, and Albertans were advised to stay indoors.

Here are some photos from around the city captured by those peoplewho dared to go outside.
