South-end Barrie beach closed for swimming

Based on what was collected yesterday from Tyndale Beach, the health unit recommended that a swim advisory should be issued.

Water samples were taken by the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit (SMDHU) from a south-end Barrie beach Tuesday.

After the water was examined, the health unit determined that a swim advisory should be posted for Tyndale Beach.

Staff have posted advisory signage and will be re-sampling the beach today.

“We will share an update on the advisory once we hear from the SMDHU,” said Scott LaMantia, manager of marketing and communications with Access Barrie.
