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 6 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 18, 2026. For example: A telephone for emergency use is in operating condition and located no farther than 30 metres from the pool.

• 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 2 times on July 31, 2025. For example: An adjustable dosing device is used to administer pool sanitizer.

• 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 July 3, 2026. For example: Pool dressing rooms, water closets, and shower facilities are maintained in a clean and sanitary manner, and free from potential health hazards.

• 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 once on July 31, 2025. For example: Pool's circulation system and chemical feeders are in continuous operation throughout the entire 24 hours of each day without regard to the daily use period.

• 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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 18, 2026. For example: Daily turnover rate is acceptable.
