Council opposes Beach Warning Notices
Beach warnings being posted by the Northwestern Health Unit aren't being well received by Kenora City Council.
The Health Unit has started posted warning signs following heavy rain events about possible bacterial contamination.
Colleen Neil is Kenora's Recreation Services Manager and says right now the signs are causing a lot of confusion.
Council says that Kenora's beaches are part of our Tourism Marketing Campaign and having a blanket warning sign posted at them is not very tourist-friendly.
Council wants to work with the health unit on making the signs less alarming.
