The Okanagan Indian Band is advising residents to not enter or consume water from the north arm of Okanagan Lake until further notice due to a toxic algae bloom.
The toxic algae bloom, shown in this photo from June 25, means the water is not safe to consume or swim in. The band says the bloom will likely remain for another week. (Okanagan Indian Band/Facebook)
