Green algae bloom in Cootes Paradise

The shoreline at Princess Point in Cootes Paradise is covered in what looks eerily similar to untreated sewage and wastewater.

A viewer called CHCH News concerned about the quality of the water at the popular recreation spot.

According to @RBGCanada this is Green Algae. It isn’t harmful like the Blue-Green Algae, but it’s still recommended that you stay out of the water. Why has this formed you ask, find out at 6 @CHCHNews pic.twitter.com/3eXInc14Du

Adam Atkinson looked into the complaint and learned that what is floating in the water isn’t actually raw sewage.
