Halifax Regional Municipality says swimmers can once again head to Kearney Lake Beach.

Earlier tests at the swimming spot indicated high bacteria levels in the water, but HRM says follow-up tests show the water is safe again.

The water quality at all supervised beaches, along with two unsupervised beaches, in HRM is regularly tested throughout the summer season.

Residents can check the status of their favourite municipal beach online.
