What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people in care. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly make someone sick, and they matter more here because young children, older adults and people who are unwell are more vulnerable to infection.

  • 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 30, 2022. For example: 1 - Are children provided with a healthy and safe environment, and protected from harmful actions?

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded once on August 16, 2024. For example: 1 - Does the licensee continually inform licensing of any significant changes to the structure or operation of the facility?

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

    Floors, walls and ceilings must be clean and in good repair, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate health risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

    Recorded once on June 13, 2023. For example: 1 - Is the facility safe, sanitary, free from hazards, in good repair, and appropriate for the age and development of children?

  • 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 once on August 16, 2024. For example: 2 - Are persons qualified and appropriately replaced?

This practice was immediately stopped and the food used for reward has since been removed from the program room. - Resolved. Additional allegations received included concerns that the children were not being continuously supervised by staff, especially during outside play. Based on the observations made during this inspection, Licensing was unable to substantiate these concerns.
