WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) -World leaders may face smoke warnings when they gather next week in Alberta as wildfires burned out of control across much of Canada and caused the country's second-worst fire season in decades.
The Kananaskis area of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, where the Group of Seven leaders' summit starts on Sunday, is not in a wildfire area. But the country is battling 225 blazes including 120 out of control with some of those fires raging to the west in British Columbia and in northern parts of Alberta.
