Abbotsford – The beach at Albert Dyck Park is closed for swimming and wading until further notice.
Fraser Health has advised that the E.coli count at the beach is over the acceptable levels and may pose a potential health risk when swimming or wading into the water. Off shore water ski activity in deeper water remains safe.
Regular testing of the lake water will continue. The beach will reopen for public use once E.coli test results have returned to acceptable levels.
More information about beach conditions and E.coli can be found on the Fraser Health website at www.fraserhealth.ca/health-topics-a-to-z/recreational-water/beach-conditions. Residents who are concerned about their health should contact Fraser Health or their family physician for more information.
The pools at Abbotsford and Matsqui Recreation Centre are open for residents looking for an alternate place to swim.
