Just in case the summer season isn’t short enough in Ottawa, the city will
officially close its beaches on Sunday, marking the end of one of the city’s
shortest beach seasons in recent memory. With more than two weeks left in the
fleeting month of August, the City of Ottawa will end its beach season this
weekend after a mere 58 days. That total includes days that Ottawa Public Health
issued no-swim advisories, including Tuesday when the red flag was flying at all
city beaches due to heavy rainfall. So far this summer, there have been just 41
days when all the city’s beaches were open at the same time. via
