Keewatin Beach Closure

All the rain this week is starting to play havoc with local beaches.

Run-off from Wednesday's heavy rainfall had led to high bacterial counts at Keewatin Beach.

The Northwestern Health Unit has posted the beach as unsafe for swimming.

The Health Unit says it will continue routine sampling of the water at Keewatin Beach, but it will remain closed until samples show lower bacterial counts.
