What to do?
With the new residential pool fencing legislation in Quebec approaching, set to come into effect on September 30, 2025, it is essential for pool owners in Laval, Montreal and the North Shore to be prepared. Here are the main points to consider to ensure your pool meets the new safety standards:
Fence height:
The fence must have a minimum height of 1.2 metres.
Opening in the fence:
Openings in the fence, such as spaces between bars, must not allow the passage of a spherical object larger than 10cm in diameter.
Doors and closing mechanism:
All doors or accesses to the pool must be equipped with safety devices that automatically close and lock the door.
Materials and construction:
The materials used for the fence must be durable and installed in a way that will resist attempts to climb over or under it.
