Swimmers are being advised to avoid Glen Lake’s Glen View Park in Langford and Patricia Bay Beach North in North Saanich after testing found high levels of bacteria.

Island Health is advising against swimming at the two sites.

An advisory issued for Ross Bay Beach in late June remains in place.

Island Health works with environmental-health officers from local government to monitor public beaches from mid-May to September each year.
