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 9 separate inspections, most recently on August 22, 2023. For example: All components of the pool are maintained in proper working order s.6(6)(a)

  • 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 August 22, 2023. For example: All chemicals are handled and stored safely s.6(6)(F)

  • 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 8 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on August 25, 2022. For example: Daily records completed and signed s.8

  • 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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on July 25, 2024. For example: Deck and walls maintained in a sanitary condition and free from Hazards s.6(6)(b)

  • 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 7 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on July 17, 2025. For example: Operator demonstrates satisfactory attendance at the facility to ensure safe operation. S 26.5
