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 12 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on August 11, 2026. For example: Public spa equipped with timing device as prescribed.

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Pumps, filters, chemical feeders and safety equipment such as lifebuoys, reaching poles and first-aid kits must be present and working. Missing safety equipment can matter a great deal in an emergency.

    Recorded 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on August 11, 2026. For example: Public spa and its equipment maintained in a safe and sanitary condition and in proper working order.

  • 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 once on March 3, 2026. For example: Operator conducts inspections at required frequency and maintains a written record of the inspections as required.

  • 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 November 20, 2025. For example: Premises is operated and maintained free from conditions that may be an immediate health hazard.
