Kearney Lake and Albro Lake beaches re-open for swimming

CITYnews halifax \ By Dan Ahlstrand

Great news for those looking to cool off in HRM.  Both Kearney Lake and Albro Lake beaches have been cleared for swimming.

The two beach areas had been closed to swimmers after the municipality detected higher-than-acceptable bacteria levels in the water.

HRM says staff regularly tests the water quality at all supervised municipal beaches and two unsupervised beaches during the summer months.

More information on municipal beaches and regional outdoor pools is available on the city’s website.
