Just in time for the Canada Day long weekend, a popular North Okanagan beach has been reopened to the public.
On Thursday, the City of Vernon said the water quality advisory for Kin Beach was lifted and the beach has reopened.
The beach was closed for five days beginning on Monday, June 25, due to higher-than-allowable bacterial counts.
Signs were posted along the beach, advising the public that swimming was not recommended.

On Thursday, though, the city removed those signs after testing determined that bacterial levels had returned to acceptable levels.
