Beach season hits Ottawa, Gatineau with a splash
Beaches open for swimming in Ottawa, Gatineau
OTTAWA — All five of Ottawa’s beaches opened for the season Saturday, and all but one of Gatineau Park’s remained open for weekend swimmers.
The city’s beaches at Britannia, Mooney’s Bay and Westboro, and both at Petrie Island officially opened Saturday, with lifeguards on duty every day from noon to 7:00 p.m. until Aug. 18.
In Gatineau Park, O’Brien and Blanchet beaches at Meech Lake, Breton, Parent and Smith beaches at Lac Philippe, and the beach at Lac La Pêche opened for the season Friday. Only the beach at Leamy Lake remained closed, due to high water levels.
The City of Ottawa and the National Capital Commission monitor water conditions at the beaches in the city and the park, and post daily updates online on which beaches are open. No-swimming advisories may be issued if E. coli levels rise to significant levels, or in the wake of significant rainfall.
