The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit has issued swimming advisories at several local beaches because of a higher than normal bacteria count in the water, which may pose increased health risks.
The beaches are still open to the public, but those who chose to swim are advised to avoid swallowing the water and dunking their heads underneath it.
Advisories are in effect for:
- Little Lake Park Midland Beach
- Pete Pettersen Park Beach, Midland
- Albert Street Beach, Tay
- Huronia Park, Penetanguishene
- Atherley Ball Park Beach, Ramara
- Brechin Beach, Ramara
- Lagoon City South Beach, Ramara
- Sandy Beach, Ramara
