夏季来临,多伦多市的大部分泳滩已正式对外开放,其中八个泳滩已经被评为蓝旗(Blue Flag)级别,属于优质沙滩。不过,市府提醒民众,户外游泳需要注意安全,尽量选择水质较好的沙滩游泳。
已从1日起对外开放的泳滩有:Bluffer’s Park Beach、Centre Island Beach、Cherry Beach、Gibraltar Point Beach、Hanlan’s Point Beach、Kew-Balmy Beach、Sunnyside Beach、Ward’s Island Beach以及 Woodbine Beach。这些泳滩均配有经过训练的救生员。另外,怡陶碧谷的 Marie Curtis Park Beach 和士嘉堡的 Rouge Beach 的救生员正在接受培训中,这两处泳滩预计将于14日起正式开放。
市府会在6月1日至劳动节(Labour Day)期间,每日以当今最严格的检测标准,对上述11个泳滩的水质进行检测。
如果水质检测结果超出省府水质指引标准,暨每100毫升的水中含有超过100个大肠桿菌,多伦多市政府公共健康局 (Toronto Public Health,TPH) 将禁止民众在该处游泳。想瞭解每日水质检测详情的民众可查询 www.toronto.ca/health/swimsafe/index.htm 或致电416-392-7161谘询。
此外,多伦多已有八个泳滩被评为蓝旗(Blue Flag)级别,它们分别是:Bluffer’s Park Beach、Centre Island Beach、Cherry Beach、Gibraltar Point Beach、Hanlan’s Point Beach、Kew-Balmy Beach、Ward’s Island Beach以及Woodbine Beach。
加拿大蓝旗项目负责人Brett Tryon表示,蓝旗的评定标准是:水质乾净、设施齐全以及安全系数和环保指数高。若民众在泳滩或码头看见蓝旗标志,这意味著那里是世界上水质最优的泳滩或码头。
据了解,今年全加拿大已经有24个沙滩和4个码头达到了蓝旗标准,详情可登录www.BlueFlag.ca查询。
