The Municipality of Kincardine will be making efforts to reduce safety concerns at Station Beach.
A Notice of Motion from Councillor Amanda Steinhoff-Gray called for posting signage for a “no swimming zone” at least 100m south of the South Pier and 100m north of the North Pier.
The motion also calls for signs to warn about strong currents and to discourage people from attempting to swim in the area.
There would also be a safe swimming area indicated through signs, flags, and buoy markers.
Other safety precautions, such as ladders being either repaired or replaced, and signs for lifesaving stations being put up and include signage indicating the location of defibrillators and related lifesaving equipment.
The motion calls for municipal staff to complete an assessment and report back by the end of this year.
