Horseshoe Lake Blue-Green Algae Alert

The municipal beach on Horseshoe Lake, Seguin.

It's a dark day for Horseshoe Lake as a blue-green algae bloom alert is released by the Ministry of Environment (MOE). A 'no drink, no swim' warning is in effect for an undetermined period of time.

While no toxic levels have been recorded, the algae bloom may become toxic. It is therefore advised to use caution. If algae bloom becomes toxic a rash may develop on exposed skin (see links below for more detailed information).

This afternoon the Horseshoe Lake Association Executive is meeting in the Seguin Council chamber for action planning. The association's news link is...
