Going into the long weekend, one Muskoka beach is under a swimming advisory.
Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit water testing has found elevated levels of bacteria at Windermere Beach in Muskoka Lakes. The advisory at Kirby’s Beach in Bracebridge has been lifted.
Officials say the beach is not closed, but anyone going for a swim risks infection and stomach illness.
The health unit tests the beach water in the region every summer between June and Labour Day long weekend.
