Inspection summary

2 of 5 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 0 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Protecting food from contamination, Handwashing and staff hygiene and Cleaning and sanitizing.
The last 2 inspections in a row found no infractions. Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.
What these findings mean
Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk
This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.
Recorded 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 7, 2022. For example:
5 Are the premises and equipment properly maintained and operated in a sanitary manner (i.e. ongoing maintenance)?
Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk
Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 7, 2022. For example:
7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?
Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk
Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.
Recorded once on July 23, 2024. For example:
3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?
Food source, labelling and allergensHigher risk
Food must come from approved suppliers, stay in labelled containers and be thrown out when it is spoiled or damaged, such as dented or swollen cans. Labelling matters for allergies: an unlabelled container can hide an allergen.
Recorded once on July 20, 2018. For example:
6 Are the foods from approved sources and has the operator taken steps to ensure that the food is safe for consumption?
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 3 times on July 20, 2018. For example:
1 Are proper cooking procedures followed?

August 2026, I went to Winfield June 29 - July 3 2026 I have been going to Winfield for four years now and I’m never disappointed in Winfield. Accessibility in Winfield top notch easy to get around easy to get in the dining hall and the dorms. The one thing that Winfield needs to fix is have more accessibility bathrooms in the dining hall and the dorms and make it much bigger. OP, barbecue hut and any other pavement is so easy to get around in my wheelchair. I had the best counselor in Winfield her name was Kenzie and she helped me with my whole morning and nighttime routine. Did not ask a single question about how my routine needed to be and asking her for help, and that made me relaxed for the week that I was in Winfield for. The things in Winfield is so much more understanding and funnier and the more playful. I would recommend going to Winfield.

Great camp with amazing lake view, pool, climbing wall, giant swing and water slide. Can be rented for family reunions, company party's. Has a big commercial kitchen with a huge dining hall, two dorm rooms that can sleep 30 to 40, plus individual hotel rooms. It hosts a game room with pool table, air hockey, fooz ball and ping pong. In the summer this camp hosts kids with special needs from all over the province of BC. It's an awesome place!

I remember being there in 2007, it was fun, I made new friends, thank you for having me, everyone were great, I even saw my friends from the town I was living in at the time, however there was too much crying from me, and this girl from the town where I was living in at the time wouldn’t leave me alone!

Winfield Easter Seals Camp. My daughter loves attending this camp and has gone for over 20 years. But since she has been diagnosed with Celiac Disease they do not seem to be able to get it right and she has been "glutened" most times since she has been diagnosed. This is very discouraging and I feel I am going to have to make the decision to not allow her to go. She will be heart broken.
