“The flood protection measures are in place along some of Kelowna’s beaches and waterfront parks to help reduce the effect of high water levels,” City of Kelowna Parks Services Manager Blair Stewart said.
“We’ve made the call to close the beach areas until the flood protection measures can be removed.”
The city advises there are more than 200 parks in Kelowna and most are still open this long weekend.
You can find those park locations here.
