Port Elgin and Gobles Grove Beaches Reopen For Swimmers

Both beaches were closed earlier this week after tests show levels of bacteria exceeding Ministry of Health standards.

Tests yesterday found acceptable levels of bacteria.

However, bathers are reminded that high winds and heavy rain usually have an adverse impact on water quality.
