July 20, 2023 – We’ve been advised The Point Beach, 4410 Point Road in Sydenham is unsafe for swimming again by KFL&A Public Health due to unacceptable levels of E.coli in the water.
We are advising residents not to enter the water until KFL&A Public Health can confirm that the beach is safe for swimming again.
We'll be posting signs advising people not to enter the water at the beach. Day camps run by the Township will continue as planned with on-land activities and training. Swimming lessons will be postponed and parents with children in lessons will be advised of plans.
KFL&A Public Health monitors the water quality at all municipally owned or operated public beaches within the Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox & Addington region. Monitoring is done weekly from early June until the end of August and includes a visual inspection of beach conditions and testing for bacteria. Beaches with consistently good test results are monitored once per month.
See this list of other beaches and parks in South Frontenac safe for swimming. Residents with questions can contact Tim Laprade, Manager of Recreation and Facilities, at 613-376-3027 ext. 2231, tlaprade@southfrontenac.net. Residents can also sign up to receive email updates on all beaches monitored by KFL&A Public Health on their website. We’ll post updates when the beach is safe for swimming again on our website and social media.
