Lifeguard supervision and water quality testing at all municipal beaches ended
for the summer season on Tuesday, August 31, 2021. Municipal staff regularly
test the water quality at all supervised beaches during the summer months. High
bacteria levels can be caused by a number of factors, including dogs, birds,
wildlife, and high temperatures. Staff will continue testing the water until
bacteria levels return to safe levels. The municipality will advise residents
when beaches close and reopen.
