Health Unit: algae bloom found on Upper Rideau Lake

The Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit recently alerted residents of McNally’s Bay on Upper Rideau Lake of a potential blue-green algae bloom following calls from concerned residents. As blue-green algae blooms may be hazardous to health and can only be confirmed through testing, the Health Unit issued notices with precautions residents could take while waiting for results from the Ministry of the Environment.
