A heads up if you plan to visit Icarus Lake this long weekend as the Health Unit is reporting the lake had blue-green algae in it.
Again, an analysis of the water from the lake will be tested to see if the algae are toxic.
It could take a couple of days before results are available.
When blue-green algae are present in water, officials say to avoid drinking the water, using it for household purposes, or swimming in it.
