The city of Toronto has passed a bylaw controlling in-ground swimming pools. The new bylaw imposes the toughest standards in North America and will require all new in-ground pools to be fenced in on all four sides. And new fencing that is constructed around existing in-ground swimming pools will likewise be required to be placed around the entire pool.
The purpose of course is to prevent people, especially small children from wandering into pools and drowning.
Perhaps this bylaw is not all bad. All of the so called legal owners of in-ground swimming pools should consider themselves lucky that the social engineers haven’t passed a bylaw that would make these pools illegal.
After all, more people have drowned in these Toronto pools than have been shot to death by legal gun owners. Thank you, City Hall.
