Ottawa Public Health says all four monitored public beaches in Ottawa are open for swimming Saturday.
This comes after swimming was not recommended at Mooney's Bay Beach for much of the week because of a possibly harmful blue-green algae bloom.
"On Aug. 4, 2023 the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks testing indicated that the level of toxins associated with blue-green algae present in the water at Mooney’s Bay were within recreational water guidelines. The swimming status has been updated to swim," said OPH Healthy Environments Team program manager Emily Morrison in a statement to CTV News on Saturday.
