Humber Bay Park West by Korice Moir
Testing at Humber Bay Park West beach with Ro, a Lake Ontario Waterkeeper (LOW) volunteer who has been sampling for E. coli at this spot for a couple of seasons now. Five E. coli samples were taken by Ro, and he bikes the bottles downtown for LOW to test. Water Rangers mini testkit was used at site 3C this time.

Humber Bay Park West by Korice Moir
Humber Bay Park West beach: clear water, low to no wind, small ripples on Lake Ontario, modest waves. Note blue-green algae alert at Humber Bay Park East (east of this test site). Teamed up with Ro from Lake Ontario Waterkeepers who took samples to test for E. coli. We also noted garbage/debris and other contextual data. Had fun! Thanks for today, Ro! Note to self to bring bag to pick up garbage bits next time. Also sandles, the waves sneak up on ya. ;)

Near Sulphur Springs Road, Dundas Valley Dundas ON by Jim Mackey
Today's test was done after several days of 30 C plus temperatures. It would be interesting to test again after the anticipated heavy rains later today. A nearby creek (Chedoke Creek) has had an advisory issued for it near Cootes Paradise due to elevated ecoli readings. It was very quiet as far as animals and the trees are starting to look a little stressed. A family with a dog came by during my test which (yes I am blaming a dog:-) caused me to forget to pick up my thermometer.
