What to know about Pool opening
A pool opening brings a backyard pool out of its winter shutdown and back to clean, circulating water. A technician takes off and cleans the cover, pulls the winter plugs, puts the ladders and fittings back, reconnects the pump, the filter and any heater, brings the water up to its operating level and restarts circulation. Then comes the chemistry: testing, balancing and shocking until the water is clear and fit to swim in.

No permit page published by Campbell River itself has been verified for this site, so what is below is what applies in British Columbia. If pool opening needs a permit, ask who is pulling it and whether it is in the price.
Our British Columbia guide has no rule written for this trade, so there is none below. That is not the same as nothing applying: ask for proof of insurance, and for anything that touches gas, wiring or drains, ask who is certified to do it.
