How to add the most recent Canadian smoke data?

This documentation is always evolving.

With Mapcreator, you can illustrate the spread of wildfire smoke across North America. The colors indicate the concentration levels of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), which can be further explored on the Environment and Climate Change Canada page.

Where to find it

In the ‘’Live Data’’ section of the ‘’Data overlay’’ menu, activate the ‘’Canada Smoke’’ layer to add smoke plumes to your map.

How to get this map updated:

If you’d like to show this project as an interactive map on your website, we recommend you download this map as an iframe. The map will then also automatically update. 

And on a static map?

The data in the tool is always providing the most recent updates. Meaning that if you reopen an existing project in the tool, it will automatically also have the most recent data. Download your map again and you’re ready.
