OTTAWA, On. — Sunday is your last chance to visit supervised beaches this summer in Ottawa.
Lifeguards will spend their final day on duty before putting away their gear for the season.
It was a good summer overall for swimming at city beaches with no-swim advisories just 15 per ceny of the time.
That was much better than last year when 40 per cent of swim days were cancelled due to a glut of birds that fouled the water.
The lack of rain this summer also kept raw sewage from spilling into the Ottawa River and raising bacteria counts.
