Coming up next month, we will once again be giving away free trees to Long Branch residents.

Watch this spot for an update. We’re planning to enable you to order your free tree through our website to make it more convenient for you.

Our webmaster was away on vacation, so our page where we have assembled the City’s testing results of the water at the Marie Curtis beaches with daily rainfall statistics from Environment Canada was not being updated daily as we planned.

We have now updated the page. Check it out.

We wanted to have something that would be more predictive than the City’s postings, which is why we added rainfall data. A good rule of thumb is that if we receive more than 10mm of rain, the beaches will be unsafe for the next one or two days.

We hope you find this helpful and we invite your comments and feedback.
