Swimming Advisory for Patterson Park Friday, August 18, 2023

Please be advised that the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit has issued a swimming advisory for Patterson Park. Tay Township staff have posted signage at the beach to inform beach users.

For information regarding beach advisories and postings please visit the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit website https://www.simcoemuskokahealth.org/Topics/SafeWater/BeachWater/BeachPostings

A swimming advisory is a warning to swimmers but it is not a beach closure. During a swimming advisory, a beach is posted with warning signs when the water contains levels of bacteria that indicate there may be an increased risk of developing minor skin, eye, ear, nose and throat infections and stomach disorders. If you choose to swim during a swimming advisory it may be prudent to avoid ducking your head or swallowing the water.
