Bluewater will be flying two Blue Flags for the 2015 season - one at the Bluewater Marina and one at the Bayfield Main Beach.
The Blue Flag is an international eco-label, awarded by Environmental Defence to beaches and marinas meeting high environmental standards.
It's the 7th time the Blue Flag designation has been awarded at the Bluewater Marina in Bayfield. The Pioneer Park Association and the Municipality of Bluewater are new partners in the stewardship of the Bayfield Main Beach.
Residents and visitors are invited to join the Municipality and Pioneer Park Association for a Flag Raising Ceremony hosted at Bayfield Main Beach and Bluewater Marina in Bayfield on Friday, June 19th at 3:00 p.m. "The marina operators Ron and Pat Reder continue to demonstrate their commitment to the Blue Flag Program’s goals. The Municipality is extremely fortunate to have a partner that shares its environmental values," said Mayor Tyler Hessel.
"The Park is committed to the vitality of the beach as an amenity for the entire community. Pioneer Park strongly supports attaining good water quality that is drinkable, swimmable and fishable," President Brad McLellan advised.
