The City of Dorval is happy to announce the reopening of the pools at the Dorval Aquatic and Sports Centre (DASC) and its two arenas (Dorval Arena and the Westwood Sports Centre), as of Monday, January 17.
This reopening happens at the same time as the lifting of the curfew and the return to school by children announced by the Québec government.
At the DASC, only recreational swimming and lap swim is authorized, according to a specific sanitary protocol (maximum number of visitors, limited access to the locker rooms, dedicated zones for each participant, gatherings prohibited, etc.).
As for the arenas, only recreational skating will be allowed. The vaccination passport will be required to take part in these activities, which will be offered exclusively to Dorval residents for now.
The City of Dorval has also released a list of requirements when visiting that align with the current public health measures.

The City of Pointe-Claire and the City of DDO have opened their aquatic centres by appointment only, both cities requiring you to have a membership.
In accordance with public health measures, these aquatic centres require you to wear a mask while navigating the spaces.
Unfortunately, those who are wanting to use the Casgrain pool at John Abbott College will have to wait. John Abbott has closed their pool, weight room, squash courts, and all rental groups.
According to their portal, updates will be shared as the situation evolves.
It is fantastic that local aquatic centers are reopening because it brings so much joy to the entire neighborhood. Public facilities require massive upkeep to ensure the water remains perfectly safe for everyone to enjoy throughout the warm summer months. We upgraded our own backyard setup and installed several Jandy Pool Products since reliable residential maintenance is equally important for family health. Having a clean place to swim at home gives us complete peace of mind. Community spaces always thrive when they are maintained properly.
