VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s forests minister is warning that the dense shroud of wildfire smoke that has descended over parts of the province, including Metro Vancouver, is set to worsen.

Ravi Parmar says the smoke will be a “major factor” in the next 24 to 72 hours, with more arriving in the central and southern Interior tonight or tomorrow and reaching Abbotsford by Friday.

More coming.
