Subject: IMPORTANT: Blue Green Algae Advisory Issued
AHS has issued a blue green algae (BGA) advisory for Lac Ste Anne.
The advisory was issued based on cell count results from recent sampling. The advisory will remain in place for the remainder of the summer. I have attached the appropriate signage for your awareness.
This advisory is best used as a tool to help the public use the water safely. Members of the public can do their own risk assessment of the water using any of the information provided. More information is included in the attached signage or on our website: BGA_Frequently Asked Questions (albertahealthservices.ca).
The advisory will be posted publicly on the AHS website: Active Health Advisories | Alberta Health Services. Please allow a few hours for the advisory to appear online.
Thank you,
