Wildfires cast smoky shadow over tourism industry ahead of unofficial start of summer

At Andrew Lake Lodge – a remote camp in the extreme northeast corner of Alberta – owner Dan Wettlaufer is looking forward to welcoming the first of this year’s crop of tourists this weekend.

Andrew Lake Lodge attracts visitors from across the country, the U.S., Europe and Asia looking to experience fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing in a pristine wilderness location. “Internationally, when people hear of Canadian wildfires, they may think it is the whole country that’s on fire,” he said.

At the Big White Ski Resort in that region, which hosts mountain biking and a variety of events and festivals in the summer, senior vice-president Michael Ballingall said he is worried that forecasts for a significant wildfire season in 2024 will scare off some guests.
