There will be no swimming at Dingle Beach until further notice.
Halifax Regional Municipality says recent tests at the Sir Sandford Fleming Park swimming spot indicate bacteria levels have exceeded Health Canada guidelines.
“High bacteria levels can be caused by a number of factors, including dogs, birds, wildlife, and high temperatures,” HRM said in a news release.
The water quality at all supervised beaches in HRM, along with four unsupervised municipal beaches, is regularly tested in the summer months.
Residents can check the status of their favourite municipal beach online.
