3 Vancouver Island beaches declared unfit for swimming

This crappy situation has been going on for several years in BC. Why would backwards BC let some beaches go to shit?

Hopefully, BC will never send a delegation to Australia, NZ, Hawaii, California, Texas & Florida to show them how its done. Fortunately, all those places understand how important it is for the tourism industry to not lower their standards.

Even the beach resorts in Mexico understand that it's not a good idea to let it go to shit. Perhaps there is just a growing give up mentality in backwater BC.
