Kinap Beach reopens to swimming

​

The Halifax Regional Municipality is advising residents that Kinap Beach in Porters Lake has reopened to swimming.

​

Kinap Beach is a supervised beach (weekdays only) from July 1 until August 31 each year. Municipal staff regularly test the water quality at all supervised municipal beaches, as well as one unsupervised beach, during the summer months.

​

Previous test results showed high bacteria levels in the water, but follow-up tests now show the water is once again safe, in accordance with Health Canada guidelines.
