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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 15 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on March 18, 2026. For example: Reportable incidents have been reported to the Medical Health Officer in the form and manner required. [RCR Sec 77(2)(c)]

  • 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 8 times across 8 separate inspections, most recently on March 18, 2026. For example: Persons in care have at all times immediate access to an employee who is certified in first aid and CPR, knowledgeable about their medical condition and able to communicate with emergency personnel [RCR Sec 43(1);DOLSOP Preventing Opioid Overdose]

  • 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 6 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on March 18, 2026. For example: Employees have access to reliable communications equipment in an emergency [RCR Sec 51(5)]

  • 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 20 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on March 18, 2026. For example: Menu reflects food preferences and cultural background [RCR Sec 62 (2)(c)(ii)]
