Last Chance to Secure Access to Your Pool
Over the years, the Town has shared several communications about the importance of securing access to residential pools, to encourage Town of Mount Royal pool owners to add an enclosure to control access.
We'd like to remind you that September 30, 2025 will mark the end of the exemption granted by the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Regulation for bringing residential pool installations into compliance. All pools will need to be compliant with the by-law, including those installed before November 1, 2010.
A summer brigade has already been identified and will be touring the Town's territory over the next weeks to check whether pools are properly secured by an enclosure or fence. A reminder will be given to homeowners whose pools are not properly secured.
If you have any questions about these regulations, please consult a summary of the provincial regulations (in French only) or the full regulations from the Ministère des Affaires municipales et de l'Habitation (in French only). You can also consult our page to find out how to obtain a permit, as a certificate of authorization is required to update work.
