Pool Safety: Mandatory compliance by September 30
Introduced in July 2010, the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Regulation, is a provincial law that all municipalities are required to enforce. Its main goal is to prevent child drownings by restricting access to residential pools through safety measures such as secure fencing.
As of September 30, 2025, all residential pools must comply with this regulation. Inspections will be carried out by the City to ensure that residential swimming pools comply with current regulations, starting summer 2025. Fines ranging from $500 to $1,000 per day could be imposed for any pool or spa that does not comply with the regulation.
All owners of residential pools in Westmount must complete the declaration form available online or at the Urban Planning Department counter at City Hall (4333 Sherbrooke W.) If you own a swimming pool, please consult the requirements and, if necessary, take the required steps and carry out the necessary work as soon as possible.
