Inspection summary
Cambie Gardens - Acquired Injury has been inspected 10 times by Vancouver Coastal Health since February 23, 2023. The most recent inspection, on June 30, 2026, recorded 16 infractions.
None of the 10 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 16 infractions recorded. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct health risks.
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 your health. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 45 times across 10 separate inspections, most recently on June 30, 2026. For example:
Minimum 4 week menu plan used [RCR Sec 62(1)(b)]
Food safety training and certificationLower risk
Many jurisdictions require a trained or certified person on site, such as a certified food handler. These findings mean the training record or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean anything was handled unsafely.
Recorded 16 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on June 30, 2026. For example:
Prior to employment the licensee obtained the appropriate information regarding the staff person [RCR Sec 37(1)]
Equipment and utensilsLower risk
Equipment has to be made of cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked surface or worn part. They are generally lower risk but show how well the place is maintained.
Recorded 11 times across 8 separate inspections, most recently on June 30, 2026. For example:
Employees have been trained in the implementation of the plans and in the use of emergency equipment [RCR Sec 51(3)]
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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on November 13, 2024. For example:
Rooms and common areas are well ventilated, in a good state of repair, safe and clean condition [RCR Sec 22(1)]
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 47 times across 9 separate inspections, most recently on June 30, 2026. For example:
Health and safety of persons in care are regularly monitored [RCR Sec 50(1);DOLSOP Preventing Opioid Overdose]
