The City of Saint John is reopening three beaches to the public nearly one week after high bacteria samples shut them down.

Last week the city closed Fisher Lake at Rockwood Park, Dominion Park Beach and Tucker Park Beach, putting up warning signs at all three locations.

As of Thursday, the signs have been removed and the beaches are open for swimming

“The City of Saint John would like to thank residents for their patience, and will continue to provide updates from Public Health if they are required,” a news release reads.
