All pool owners have until September 30, 2025 to bring their facilities up to standard

Since 2010, the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Regulation adopted by the provincial government has established standards to ensure the safety of swimming pools with a depth of more than 60 centimeters of water and spas that can hold more than 2,000 liters of water. It is the responsibility of the municipality to enforce this regulation. Please consult the summary document outlining the standards of the regulations  (Available in French only) for municipal residents.

Owners of facilities that predate the adoption of the provincial regulations and who were granted an extension have until September 30, 2025, to comply.
