A water park in Calgary has been shut down in response to three cases of E. coli being linked to the facility, with Alberta Health Services warning that anyone who visited the park between July 25 and Aug. 4 may have been affected.

The Prairie Winds water park is operated by the City of Calgary, and while cleaning at the site began over the weekend, it will remain closed until the end of the week.
