The Quebec government and health authorities have given local municipalities the green light to open community aquatic facilities across the province.

It will be up to each municipality to decide when to open pools, wading pools and beaches.

Despite the province continuing to report hundreds of newly confirmed COVID-19 cases, the coming warm weather will place pressure on municipal officials to open these popular cooling spots.

As Montreal’s aquatic facilities gradually re-open, visitors will need to observe the following safety procedures:

  • Keep a physical distance of two metres from others at all times.
  • Comply with all signage.
  • Do not exceed the maximum number of people allowed in the play fountain area.
  • If it’s busy, let the next person have their turn. Don’t stay longer than 30 minutes.
  • Wash your hands frequently.
  • Bring a water bottle and alcohol-based hand sanitizer because fountains and washrooms are not open at present. 
  • Do not wear masks and face coverings in the water.
