I'll bet there were water towers all over this town before we had a reliable water supply.

I've gone to Matheson a few times this Summer, definitely my favourite accessible lake in Greater Victoria.
Where's that?

Hmm, next summer?
Flickr offers lots of photos. Here are some links:

The rock near the middle is the best point for swimming, and the island is always fun.

That doesn't look too swimmable.

It is a terrible lake for swimming. Never go there in the summer. Never ever. Leeches everywhere and tonnes of sea snakes.

Looks fun. Anyone on skates out there?

There were two hockey games going on. Hard to see in that crappy photo and yes all in all about 20+ people on skates.

Geez, I guess I was lucky when I swam there a summer or so back. Now that I know this I won't be doing that again. Gross.

Do you think maybe that was G-man's intent?

This Thetis Lake story sure unfolded slowly.
CHEK had info on Sunday, CFAX has still not reported it, and TC only got on it late this afternoon.
http://www.timescolo...-lake-1.1121730
We re-posted the CHEK story on one of our pages on Sunday at 6pm and it got lots of views. The page we posted it on only has 2,411 fans, so you can say it went viral to get over 60,000 views, and over 10,000 clicks.

i saw on the CTV facebook feed it said several dozen people got sick, and on the TC story, 17 people.
Made me wonder what exactly does several dozen mean?

Staff are also looking into other possible sources of contamination, like a sick swimmer that passed their illness on to others.

Someone on the radio this morning suggested that the sick swimmer may have either vomited or defecated in the lake and others might have been swimming in it.

Do they still operate the canteen there?! Could they have all eaten something? (Obviously VIHA would be looking into this as a possibility and would have been reported so I assume the canteen isn't running - yet or at all?)
And yah - nice image eh Sebberry? *shudder*
