What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people using the facility. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly cause illness or injury, such as water that is not properly treated.

• Pool and spa water qualityHigher risk

  For pools, spas and splash pads, inspectors test disinfectant levels, pH and water clarity, and check safety equipment. Water that is not properly treated can spread skin, ear and stomach infections.

  Recorded 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 12, 2026. For example: Total alkalinity is between 60 mg/L (60 ppm) and 180 mg/L (180 ppm)

• Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

  Pool chemicals such as chlorine and acid must be labelled, stored apart from each other and handled safely. Mixing them by mistake can release toxic gas, so storage and handling problems are treated seriously.

  Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 12, 2026. For example: Sufficient supply and storage of chemicals and testing devices

• Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

  Decks, change rooms, showers and shared equipment must be cleaned and disinfected regularly so infections such as athlete's foot and plantar warts are not passed between users.

  Recorded once on August 12, 2026. For example: Sanitizer levels in compliance

• Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

  This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

  Recorded once on May 21, 2025. For example: Pool, deck, equipment, sanitary facility and adjoining areas kept in a safe and sanitary manner and free from hazards

• Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

  Decks, ladders, fencing, drains, washrooms and signage must be in good repair. Damaged drain covers or broken fencing can be real safety hazards, while most other upkeep issues are lower risk.

  Recorded once on August 12, 2026. For example: Premises is operated and maintained free from every condition that may be a potential/immediate health hazard
