Keewatin Beach Open

Clear skies, warmer weather and a newly re-opened beach.

The Northwestern Health Unit has rescinded its closure of Keewatin Beach.

The beach was closed last week due to high levels of e-coli found in the water.

Recent water quality tests have come back clean.

Weekly sampling will be carried out during the swimming season as a way to ensure the water quality does not pose a risk for swimmers.
