Only people who live in Port Colborne will be able to visit Nickel Beach and Centennial-Cedar Bay Beach this weekend.

The city is going to restrict those beaches to locals only starting this Friday.

You'll have to to show some ID when you arrive and you will be able to bring guests with you.

Each Port Colborne resident will be able to bring two non-resident guests with them and an unlimited number of guests under the age of 15.

It should work out to one resident per carload.

Mayor Bill Steele says these changes will help ensure public safety as the pandemic continues.
