All Windsor-Essex Beaches Are Open For Swimming

If you plan to go to the beach this long weekend to beat the heat, the good news is all beaches in Windsor-Essex are open.

The bad news is swimming is not recommended at one beach in Lakeshore because of high levels of bacteria in the water.

The health unit suggests people stay out of the water at West Belle River Beach.
