Vancouver Coastal Health has issued swimming advisories for eight Metro Vancouver beaches, deeming them unsafe for swimming due to elevated E. coli levels or the potential for levels to rise.
The affected beaches include English Bay, Kitsilano Beach, Second Beach (in Vancouver), Dundarave Beach (in West Vancouver), Sunset Beach, Third Beach (in Stanley Park), Lions Bay, and Trout Lake. The health authority states that “no-swim” advisories are issued when water samples consistently show high levels of the bacteria.
Vancouver Coastal Health warns that exposure to increased E. coli concentrations can heighten the risk of ear, eye, nose, skin, and throat infections. Additionally, swallowing contaminated water can lead to diarrhea.
