A swimming advisory has been issued for Moonlight Beach, Greater Sudbury

As a result of routine water samples exceeding the acceptable bacteriological water quality standards, Public Health Sudbury & Districts has posted swimming advisory signs to inform the public that the beach water quality is not suitable for recreational use at this time.

The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks has advised Public Health Sudbury & Districts that results from samples taken August 23, 2018, from Red Deer Lake are positive for blue-green algae (cyanobacteria). The samples contained a species of cyanobacteria that can produce toxins.

Greater Sudbury Water/Wastewater Environmental Compliance Officers and compliance staff will be going door-to-door in Coniston beginning July 11 to August 1 to help residents identify and prevent possible sources of ground water that may contribute to flooding or sewer backups.

Greater Sudbury Police responded to a stabbing complaint on Elm Street in the area of the SudburyTransit Centre around 7:30pm on Sunday evening.
