Inspection summary

Best Western Strathmore Inn - Swimming Pool has been inspected 9 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since January 11, 2024. The most recent inspection, on August 1, 2025, recorded 5 infractions.

None of the 9 inspections on record were free of infractions. No inspections are on record from the past 12 months. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

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 26 times across 9 separate inspections, most recently on August 1, 2025. For example: Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-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 9 times across 9 separate inspections, most recently on August 1, 2025. 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 9 times across 9 separate inspections, most recently on August 1, 2025. 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?
