What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people in care. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly make someone sick, and they matter more here because young children, older adults and people who are unwell are more vulnerable to infection.

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Equipment has to be made of cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked surface or worn part. They are generally lower risk but show how well the place is maintained.

    Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on June 2, 2026. For example: Is the facility and equipment being maintained in a suitable manner (Critical)?

  • Other findingsLower risk

    Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 24, 2026. For example: Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this child care facility (Non-Critical)?

5 inspections

  1. Risk Management Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 17. Is the facility and equipment being maintained in a suitable manner (Critical)?
      • A bleach spray bottle was stored on the counter near the handwashing sink, out of reach of children. The bottle was found to be empty, and a disinfectant solution was prepared by the operator at the time of inspection. Chlorine test strips have been acquired to assist with monitoring solution strength; however, the test strip packaging was unopened - indicating they had not been used. Please ensure that an appropriate disinfectant is always available when the facility is in operation.
  2. Monitoring Inspection

    2 infractions

    • 17. Is the facility and equipment being maintained in a suitable manner (Critical)?
      • A bleach spray bottle was stored on the counter near the handwashing sink, out of reach of children. The operator reported that the disinfecting solution is mixed fresh each day of operation. When tested during the inspection, the solution did not contain active sanitizer. Staff had followed a mixing guide from Alberta Health Services; however, they did not have test strips to verify concentration. Further assessment suggested that the bleach product used may be a lower-concentration laundry formulation, requiring a different mixing ratio to achieve 100 ppm in the spray bottle. The solution strength was corrected during the inspection, and information regarding ordering chlorine test strips will be provided.Action Required: Purchase chlorine test strips to assist with monitoring solution strength.
    • 32. Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this child care facility (Non-Critical)?
      • The weatherstripping on the fire exit door requires updating; a noticeable draft and visible light were present around the bottom of the door. Staff have already requested maintenance to complete this repair and will provide a photograph once it is finished.

  4. Risk Management Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 18. Is the facility and equipment being maintained in a suitable manner (Non-Critical)?
      • Inappropriate sanitizer is being used at this facility. During the January 23 reinspection, the Public Health Inspector (PHI) was informed by staff that they were using Microban 24 Hour Citrus (DIN 02490730) as the surface sanitizer. Microban is a QUAT based product with a DIN. However, the QUAT concentration is too high (>400 ppm) to be used as a surface disinfectant for tables or toys. For QUAT products used in institutional facilities, the concentration must be 200 ppm. The facility has been asked to find a more appropriate sanitizer. This violation can only be corrected once confirmation has been received of an appropriate sanitizer solution.
