Advisory Issued Because Of High Lake Levels And Wind

The Essex Region Conservation Authority is keeping an eye on conditions along the shore of Lake Erie because of the possibility of shore erosion and break wall damage.

It says water levels on the lake are high right now, and with wind gusts of up to 45 km/h, some of those waves could top the break walls.

It anticipates the shore of Leamington, Point Pelee National Park, Kingsville, Essex, and Point Pelee will be most affected and is asking people to avoid the shoreline.

The advisory is in effect until 9am Thursday.
