💛 Our hearts are with our neighbors in Canada. 💛
As the devastating wildfires continue, we’re keeping every family, first responder, and community in our prayers. The beauty of Canada’s forests and landscapes has touched so many lives, and it’s heartbreaking to see so much loss.
For those traveling over the next several days, it’s also important to be mindful that wildfire smoke doesn’t stay where the fires are. Changing wind patterns have carried smoke into parts of the United States, creating poor air quality in some regions. Officials have issued air quality alerts across portions of the Midwest and Northeast.
Travel is about creating beautiful memories, and part of that is traveling safely and caring for one another.
From all of us at Opal Coast Travels, we’re praying for healing, protection, rain where it’s needed, and strength for everyone affected. 🤍🍁
