When beaches in Ontario have that distinct blue flag flying above, it gives the beach’s community a unique sense of pride because they know that the water there is safe and sustainable.

The Blue Flag is one of the world’s most well-recognized eco-labels, and to qualify, a beach must meet and continue to maintain a series of environmental, educational, safety, and accessibility criteria. Regular spot checks of water quality are conducted throughout the season.
Twenty-five places were awarded the prestigious Blue Flag Canada award this year, and Ontario beaches and marinas dominated the list with fifteen beaches and seven marinas.
The Blue Flag program in Canada is administered by Swim Drink Fish.
