Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that Cunard Pond Beach is closed again after reopening just hours before.

In a release, the city said the beach is closing again due to a high presence of blue-green algae.

Residents are asked to avoid water contact while the advisory is in effect. That includes keeping pets and animals away from the beach.

This all comes after the city announced Tuesday morning the beach would reopen after saying testing found toxin levels are within Health Canada limits.

For more information on beach closures in HRM, people can check the city’s website.
