Do It Right: Backyard Pools

Thinking about getting a pool this summer? Owning a pool is terrific—but it comes with responsibilities.

Outdoor swimming pools can pose a danger to young children if left unattended and unprotected. By-law 4008 requires every outdoor swimming pool that is capable of holding water deeper than 24 inches or is greater than 22 sq. ft. to be enclosed by a fence.

A permit for a swimming pool enclosure must be obtained before the pool is installed.

Remember to investigate the cost of proper fencing/enclosure before purchasing any pool­—including softsided and inflatable models.

Learn more about the requirements for pools at www.tillsonburg.ca/pools

New Bike Patrol Launched

Have you seen someone new cycling through your neighbourhood? It could be a member of Tillsonburg’s new bike patrol.

The bike patrol program, which rolled out in May, equips Town of Tillsonburg by-law enforcement officers with iGO pedal-assisted e-bikes to facilitate more easier monitoring of parks and trails.

While on patrol, by-law enforcement officers engage with the public on a variety of issues, ranging from animal control and responsible pet ownership, to parking and vandalism.
