Calgary Water Parks Closed Over E. coli Outbreak | Calgary News

Prairie Winds water park in northeast Calgary is shut down for a week after three cases of dangerous STEC E. coli were linked to the facility, prompting health officials to warn visitors from July 25 to August 4. Workers are power-washing and testing the site to halt further spread. The same strain caused a major daycare outbreak last year. Meanwhile, Chinook Winds in Airdrie is also closed due to dangerously high bacterial levels in the water. Alberta Health Services urges everyone to wash hands frequently and avoid pools for two weeks after symptoms clear.
