Inspection summary
Best Western Plus The Inn at St. Albert - Whirlpool has been inspected 33 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since November 20, 2023. The most recent inspection, on September 9, 2026, recorded 6 infractions.
4 of 33 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 12 inspections with 87 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality, Food temperature control and Chemicals and toxic substances.
Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.
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 86 times across 26 separate inspections, most recently on September 9, 2026. For example:
Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Inspectors check that anything that has to be kept at a set temperature, such as chilled or hot food, or equipment like sterilizers, stays in its safe range and that accurate thermometers are on hand. With food, temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning.
Recorded 22 times across 21 separate inspections, most recently on September 9, 2026. For example:
Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?
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 11 times across 8 separate inspections, most recently on September 4, 2026. For example:
Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
Permits, records and postingLower risk
Operating permits, water-test logs, posted bather rules and emergency procedures. Daily test logs are how operators show the water was checked and treated between inspections.
Recorded 21 times across 21 separate inspections, most recently on September 9, 2026. For example:
Are proper testing, monitoring, and other records being properly maintained?
Food safety training and certificationLower risk
Many jurisdictions require trained pool operators and certified lifeguards. These findings mean required training, certification or staffing records were missing at the time of inspection.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on December 6, 2024. For example:
Does the pool have adequate written policies, plans and posted rules and safety information to ensure that the pool is operating in a safe manner?

- Combined chlorine levels are not being kept as slow as possible as chlorine levels are consistently above testing equipment's parameters and thus CC cannot be calculated.
- 10. Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this pool (Non-Critical)?
- Free chlorine levels for the whirlpool were tested using dilution method and were found to be at 11.32 ppm, with total and combined chlorines unknown. Pool records showed this has been a regular occurrence over the last few weeks. Address underlying issue either with topping up chlorine shock manually or salt cell generation. Reduce total chlorine level below 10 ppm at a minimum, and preferably in the 2-4 ppm range.
- 14. Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?
- Floating weir nearest shower does not appear to be functioning properly. Weir basket has a buildup of scum floating inside of it.
- 16. Are proper testing, monitoring, and other records being properly maintained?
- Accurate records are not being kept of any chemicals added or treatments performed for the pool.
