A no-swimming advisory remained in effect for Westboro and Petrie Island beaches yesterday because of high bacterial counts from runoff caused by recent heavy rains. Britannia and Mooney’s Bay Beach remained open with lifeguards on duty from noon to 7 p.m.
Leamy Lake Beach is closed because of raised water levels that pose a safety risk to swimmers.
The public still has access to the National Capital Commission’s other beaches at O’Brien, Blanchet, Breton, Parent and La Pêche in Gatineau Park. Lifeguards are on duty from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
