Poor water conditions have forced Island Health to issue a health advisory and advise against swimming at the Maple Bay boat launch.
According to their website, testing of the water has found it to be unsafe, and while the beaches are not technically closed, they still highly recommend against swimming.
Beach advisories are issued by Island Health when there is an indication of elevated bacterial levels in the water or other contaminants.
They say once the water is retested, and is safe, they will issue a public advisory.
