Kinsmen Beach Closed to Swimmers

(Friday, August 5, 2005)-- The HRM-supervised Kinsmen Beach at First lake in Lower Sackville is closed to the public due to water quality problems.

Regular testing at the beach showed high bacteria levels in the lake water. “No Swimming” signs have been posted and Beach Program staff will remain on duty during regular hours to advise the public of the closure.

HRM thanks the public for its cooperation and apologizes for any inconvenience.
