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 10 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on May 6, 2026. For example: pH is within range of 7.2 to 7.8.

  • 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 January 26, 2026. For example: Chemical feeder is used to administer chlorine, chlorine compound or bromine.

  • 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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on January 26, 2026. For example: Where an automatic sensing device is used, manual tests are further conducted and recorded at least every 4 hours.

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on February 27, 2026. For example: Facility is kept clean, free from slipperiness and disinfected, free of hazardous obstructions and ventilated to remove odours.

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Pumps, filters, chemical feeders and safety equipment such as lifebuoys, reaching poles and first-aid kits must be present and working. Missing safety equipment can matter a great deal in an emergency.

    Recorded once on December 3, 2024. For example: Public pool and its equipment maintained in a safe and sanitary condition and in proper working order.
