The City of Ottawa is reviewing the Pool Enclosure By-law, 2001-259. This review addresses a number of issues intended to strengthen safety regulations aimed at preventing drowning incidents involving young children. This includes a proposal to require four-sided pool enclosures around all new private pools, which includes a fence between the dwelling and the pool.

At the same time, the City will be proposing special provisions for above ground pools, which reduces the size of the required pool enclosure, and exempting hot tubs, if they have a substantial cover that is lockable and kept locked when the hot tub is not in use.

You are invited to view the details of the proposed changes in the document linked below, and provide your feedback to the City of Ottawa by Feb. 20, 2012:

Nepean-Carleton M.P. Pierre Poilievre, Mayor Jim Watson and Gloucester–South-Nepean Councillor Steve Desroches, were pleased to celebrate the completion of the $35 Million Earl Armstrong Road Widening Project from Limebank Road to River Road.

“The widening of Earl Armstrong Road is an important project for the people of Riverside South because it will ensure smooth traffic flow upon the opening of the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge next year,” said Poilievre.
