THUNDER BAY — The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks has confirmed the presence of blue-green algae at West Loon Lake.
The Thunder Bay District Health Unit announced Monday that blue-green algae was found in a water sample collected there on Aug. 24. TBDHU said it's important to remember that water should be avoided whenever a blue-green algae bloom is present, and for about two weeks after it has dissipated. Some blooms produce toxins that pose a health risk to people and animals when consumed, inhaled, or from contact with skin.
Blue-green algae was previously confirmed this year at several other district lakes including Surprise Lake, Icarus Lake, Lake Superior near Scott Drive in Shuniah, and Trout Lake.
