e beach and waterfront at Kirby’s Beach Park is open to the public.
After a report of sewing needles being found in the water on May 31, Town of Bracebridge Public Works crews closed the beach and began an extensive inspection of the area which included six complete in-water grid searches and beach raking over the course of 20 hours. The beach and waterfront areas are safe for use, however visitors to the beach are asked to use caution and be aware of their surroundings. With the continuous movement of sand and water, debris can travel.
Public Works will be increasing site inspection and maintenance frequency at all beach locations which includes beach raking, cleaning and garbage collection. Crews will now be incorporating in-water beach maintenance into the site inspections moving forward.
