It is very difficult to identify algal blooms by observation from a shoreline. A water sample is needed to know if the algae is toxic or not, but as they could be toxic, do not attempt to take a water sample without the proper protective equipment and report it immediately to
​Ontario’s Spills Action Centre (SAC) at 1-800-268-6060.

Did you know that there has been a 68% rise over 2016 numbers of blue-green algae blooms in Ontario this past year?  We are fortunate to have Dr Elizabeth Favot, who recently defended her PhD thesis on blue-green algae, speak at our upcoming Enviro-Cafe on February 9.
