Federal Grant: Beacon Hill Pool is now FULLY accessible
We are proud to announce that, thanks to the Government of Canada's Enabling Accessibility Fund: Small Projects grant, Beacon Hill Pool is now FULLY accessible to members with mobility impairments.
The project delivered widened, power-operated doors to the washrooms, new accessible toilets and sinks, ramps throughout the pool deck, and a pool lift enabling safe access into and out of the water. With these upgrades, BHILL welcomes members of all abilities.
We are deeply grateful for the $72,000 in federal funding from the Government of Canada, along with $24,000 from the City of Beaconsfield, which together made this project possible.
A Partnership with the City of Beaconsfield.
In March of 2024, in recognition of the important role that Beacon Hill Pool plays in our community, the Council of the City of Beaconsfield voted unanimously to help finance necessary repairs to our ageing infrastructure. The City has guaranteed up to $170,000 in necessary repairs over three years according to our capital expenditure plan.
We have already undertaken repairs to the building envelope, installed a new pool heater, and as of spring 2025, we have sand-blasted and are repainting the pool basin, including the wading pool. We are extremely grateful to council, the city, and the mayor for their support.
A way of life in the West Island since 1967.
In 1966, a group of Beacon Hill residents decided to build a community pool. After extensive negotiations with the city, the pool opened its gates on August 5, 1967 to 280 eager members. Ever since, the pool has been run by an all-volunteer Board of Directors supported by the many members who donate their time and energy to make it a great place to spend the long summer days. Beacon Hill Pool has become an integral part of Beaconsfield and fostered a community that has made the Beacon Hill area an extremely desirable place to live and grow as a family.
