The City of Ottawa's five beaches open June 16 but water experts hope they will remain open more this summer with lower E. coli levels and fewer wildlife feeding on leftover food.

Ottawa riverkeeper Meredith Brown says the city is not doing enough to stop rainwater running into sewers. City officials blame the E. coli problems on patrons who feed the wildlife.

That has pushed city workers to install low-fencing along Mooney's Bay beach to keep geese off the grass.
