Blue-green Algae Advisory Lifted for Eagle Lake
Alberta Health Services has lifted the blue-green algae advisory for Eagle Lake, located southeast of Strathmore, starting Wednesday. Cooler weather has dropped the lake's temperature, reducing the risk from cyanobacteria, commonly known as blue-green algae.

The advisory had warned people to avoid any contact with the algae in the lake, which is situated in Wheatland County, about 45 minutes east of Calgary.
Health Precautions
- Officials advised against using untreated lake water for drinking or cooking.
