  • Blue-Green Algae Bloom at Prior Lake (Thetis Lake Regional Park)

    Aug 29, 2019 (updated Sep 16, 2019, 2:45pm)

    As of September 16, 2019, this advisory remains in effect. We will continue to monitor water quality in the lake.

    The Capital Regional District (CRD) advises, in consultation with Island Health, that there is a visible blue-green algae bloom at Prior Lake, located at the north end of Thetis Lake Regional Park. Blue-green algae can produce cyanotoxins. Visitors are advised to avoid swimming at Prior Lake and to keep animals on a leash to prevent them from drinking or swimming in the lake until the advisory has been lifted.

    The algae usually produce a visible blue-green sheen, which appears as surface scum. Not all blooms are easy to see and toxins can still be present in the water even if you cannot see the blooms. Blooms are unpredictable and may occur at any time.

    These algae are known toxin producers. Ingesting water containing these cyanotoxins may cause a range of symptoms, including headaches and abdominal pain in humans, and can lead to lethal liver damage in dogs.

    Please visit www.crd.bc.ca/alerts and Twitter @crd_bc for updates on the status of the algae bloom. To learn more about blue-green algae visit these sites:

  • Temporary closure of Swan Lake trestle on Lochside Regional Trail

    Sep 05, 2019

    Anticipated to be closed starting Sept 16 and open by Oct 11.

    The CRD is improving the Swan Lake trestle surface by covering the wooden decking with fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) panels. Trail users are advised to follow the signed detour route during construction.

    There will be increased activity and active construction at the trestle. The CRD asks the public to not enter the area until the trestle is officially reopened, once construction and safety assessments are completed.

    The Swan Trestle is an important link on the Lochside Regional Trail and on the regional trails system. The Brett Avenue Trestle surface was covered with the same panels earlier this year, which resulted in a smoother and safer surface for trail users.
