The affected areas are along the Lake Erie shoreline on the east side of Pelee Island, along the southeast shoreline of Leamington between Wheatley Harbour and Point Pelee, and along the Lake St. Clair shoreline including the western portion of Lakeshore, Tecumseh and the eastern portion of Windsor.
