    • I secure my swimming pool, it is my responsibility

    You are the owner of a swimming pool or you have the project to install a swimming pool in your backyard, you must know that there are standards to be respected in terms of safety.

    We remind you that the City is responsible for enforcing the Residential Pool Safety Regulations within its territory, and you only have a few months left to comply.

    In 2021, the Quebec government made amendments to the Residential Pool Safety Regulations to ensure that all residential pools are safe to prevent drowning. These amendments stipulate that all pools must, as of September 30, 2025, have been brought up to standard in accordance with current regulations.

    Consult the LEAFLET Residential Swimming Pool Safety Regulations

    Every year the Lifesaving Society and the Coroner’s Office mourn drowning deaths among young children.

    The City of Shannon is responsible for enforcing the By-law on the safety of residential swimming pools on its territory. Owners or future buyers should check with the City to find out the applicable rules.

    For any questions, contact a municipal inspector at 418 844-3778 or by email at ville@shannon.ca.
