All other outdoor pools will open for the season on Monday, June 28 and wading pools will begin opening Thursday, July 1.

Residents are encouraged to book swim blocks for most outdoor pools prior to arriving at the facilities, as there is no guarantee of drop-in admissions upon arrival, due to capacity restrictions.

Register at leisureONLINE to reserve an available block, or contact 311 for assistance with registering. Residents can also register on-site for available blocks, as facilities open.

Swimmers must come prepared to swim as lockers will not be available, and there will be limited use of change rooms, washrooms, and showers.

Admission to all other outdoor pools and all wading pools will be on a drop-in basis only.

Capacity at the pools will be reduced and residents are reminded to follow all public health orders regarding gatherings and physical distancing.
