Since 2010, the Regulation respecting the safety of residential swimming pools, adopted by the provincial government, has set standards for the safety of swimming pools with a depth of more than 60 centimetres and spas containing more than 2000L of water. The Municipality is responsible for enforcing these regulations.
Owners of facilities that existed prior to the adoption of the provincial by-law, and who benefited from a delay, have until September 30, 2025 to comply.
