Public Service Announcement - Beaches Are Not Closed

The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit (Health Unit) would like to remind the public that beaches were not closed. The Health Unit has issued advisories for harmful blue-green algae; however, it is safe to swim in the area when the bloom is not present. Harmful blue-green algae advisories do not close the beach, but rather advise swimmers that they need to take caution in the area.

For more information, call the Health Unit at 705-474-1400 or 1-800-563-2808, or learn more at myhealthunit.ca/algae.
