Fraser Riverkeeper monitors the recreational water quality of False Creek. Our dedicated team of staff and volunteers collect water samples on a weekly basis from May-October and biweekly from October-April.

Sampling takes place at thirteen sites across three locations: Olympic Village, Brokers' Bay, and Vanier Park.

When does a sample pass?

A beach is marked Green in Swim Guide when geometric mean results are under 200 E.coli / 100 mL water and single sample results are all below 400 E.coli/100mL.
A beach is marked Red when the geometric mean results are equal to or above 200 E.coli / 100 mL water and/or single sample results are above 400 E.coli/100 mL.
A beach is marked Grey when there are no current results or there is no available information.
The geometric mean is calculated based on 5 samples taken at each site. This follows the 2018 Canadian Recational Water Quality Guidelines suggestions
The single sample is the weekly sample result.
