Recreation Bay Beach reopened for swimming

08/16/2022

The Public Safety Division of the Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke (MCK) would like to inform the community that the Recreation Bay Beach has been reopened after recent sampling deemed the water is safe for swimming.

Technicians with Environmental Health Services of Kahnawake Shakotiia′takehnhas Community Services will continue to monitor the situation and are advising swimmers to stay on the left side of the beach/water, as the right side is frequented by area waterfowl and has minimal water flow.

Hand washing for those who have been in the water is also being recommended.

While the Recreation Bay Beach is safe to swim, no lifeguards will be on duty.

Additionally, swimming in Tiower�:ton was deemed safe yesterday, after testing indicated lower levels of E.coli.
