During a recent government meeting, officials provided updates on various parks projects, notably addressing the delayed grand opening of Bruce Beach. Concerns over elevated bacteria levels in the water have prompted public works to conduct testing around the park. Authorities emphasized the importance of resolving these issues before encouraging public activities such as kayaking and swimming.

Public works and engineering teams are actively investigating the source of the bacteria to ensure the safety of the park's water. In addition to the Bruce Beach situation, the meeting highlighted the ongoing efforts to fill the position of parks project coordinator, which is currently held temporarily. The recruitment process for a permanent hire is underway, reflecting the administration's commitment to maintaining and enhancing local parks.
