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 2 times on August 17, 2026. For example:
Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this pool premises (Critical)?
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Inspectors check that anything that has to be kept at a set temperature, such as chilled or hot food, or equipment like sterilizers, stays in its safe range and that accurate thermometers are on hand. With food, temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning.
Recorded once on August 17, 2026. For example:
Is the pool premises maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?
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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 17, 2026. For example:
Does the pool premises have adequate written policies, plans and posted rules and safety information to ensure that the pool is operating in a safe manner?

4 infractions
- 03. Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this pool premises (Critical)?
- Pool chemical containers i.e muriatic acid and chlorine, were observed stored in close proximity to one another. This storage practice increases the risk of accidental mixing in the event of a leak or spill, which can result in the release of toxic chlorine gas and pose a serious health and safety hazard. It was also observed that the operator was diluting muriatic acid using a garden hose in the vicinity of the chlorine containers, further increasing the risk of accidental chemical mixing and exposure to hazardous fumes.Store incompatible chemicals separately and provide appropriate secondary containment to prevent accidental mixing and reduce the risk of hazardous chemical reactions. Ensure that chemical dilution procedures are conducted in a designated area away from incompatible substances and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and safe work practices.
- 04. Are general nuisance conditions, other than those noted in other violations, being prevented at this pool premises (Non-Critical)?
- It was observed during the inspection that 1.Hand soap was not available in the men's washroom at the time of the inspection.2. A garden hose was observed to be connected to a tap located beneath the ladies' washroom sink and was observed to be used to dilute the acid pail in the mechanical room. This arrangement creates a potential cross-connection and backflow risk, which may result in contamination of the potable water supply.Ensure that 1. An adequate supply of hand soap is maintained in the men's washroom at all times. Handwashing supplies should be regularly monitored and replenished as necessary to promote proper hand hygiene.2. Install an approved vacuum breaker (backflow prevention device) on the tap to eliminate the cross-connection risk and protect the potable water system from potential contamination.
- 09. Is the pool premises maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?
- The area beneath and adjacent to the water slide was observed to be unclean, with a greenish vegetation-like growth present on the surface. Thoroughly clean the affected area and remove all vegetation, algae, and debris. Maintain the indicated area in a clean condition through regular inspection and cleaning to prevent the recurrence of growth.
