Conservation Halton is warning all residents and children to keep a safe distance from lakefront areas during this time, as the strong winds and high water levels can potentially cause waves to overtop breakwalls and other shoreline structures, making these locations extremely dangerous.
The warning will be in effect through Sunday, October 28.
Conservation Halton will continue to monitor wind and lake conditions, and will issue further messages as necessary.
