Recreational Water Education Sessions

The Middlesex-London Health Unit offers public pool, spa, wading pool and splash pad education sessions throughout the year. Attend one of our upcoming sessions to review regulatory responsibilities in order to help you run your facility the best that you can. Everyone who attends a session will be provided with resource materials and be given a certificate for completing the session.

Who should attend?

Public pool, spa, wading pool or splash pad owners, operators, lifeguards, management and support staff who work at facilities located in Middlesex-London.

Why should I attend?

Recreational water facility owners and operators are legally responsible for making sure their facilities meet the Regulations and that their staff are knowledgeable. Public Health Inspectors from the Middlesex-London Health Unit help you reach these goals. A facility that is not taken care of properly may create needless risks for users, including water-related illnesses or injuries.

Note: Information gathered for participation in the education sessions is completely voluntary. It is collected for the purposes of issuing a certificate of participation, communicating schedule changes, for program planning and evaluation, and for providing updates to operators. If you have further questions, please contact Andrew Powell at Andrew.Powell@mlhu.on.ca or 519-663-5317 ext. 2360.
