Official record from Alberta →

Inspection summary

Flamingo Hotel - Courtyard Pool has been inspected 16 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since November 17, 2023. The most recent inspection, on February 11, 2026, recorded 7 infractions.

None of the 16 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 7 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality, Chemicals and toxic substances and Food temperature control.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

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 58 times across 16 separate inspections, most recently on February 11, 2026. For example: Is the pool in compliance with verbal and/or written approvals and/or orders issued by an Executive Officer, and is the Executive Officer not being obstructed or interfered with in the exercise of his/her powers?

  • 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 16 times across 16 separate inspections, most recently on February 11, 2026. For example: Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (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 16 times across 16 separate inspections, most recently on February 11, 2026. For example: Is the pool 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 16 times across 16 separate inspections, most recently on February 11, 2026. For example: Does the pool have adequate written policies, plans and posted rules and safety information to ensure that the pool is operating in a safe manner?

      • The pool has a single blockable (approx. 12"x12") main drain. The main drain design/construction could not be verified during the inspection. The single blockable submerged suction outlet (main drain) did not have a suction entrapment prevention system.The submerged suction outlet (main drain) was not inspected daily with findings recorded.
    • 14. Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?
      • There was a patch of green algae (approx. 24" x 24") on the basin tiles in the shallow end of the pool.
    • 17. Does the pool have adequate written policies, plans and posted rules and safety information to ensure that the pool is operating in a safe manner?
      • Written policies, including cleaning schedules, safety plans, and pool water contamination incident response, were not available. An anti-entrapment plan was not available. Information was not available for the submerged suction outlets (drain covers) including installation, sizing, and expiry.Please compile appropriate written policies and ensure they are available to all applicable staff.
  13. Risk Management Inspection

    6 infractions

    • 03. Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?
      • Routine water samples have not been submitted for bacteriological testing since November 2022. A valid access number has been provided to the operator. Please resume submitting weekly samples.
    • 04. Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
      • The level of free available chlorine in the pool water was measured at 0.14 ppm.
    • 07. Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?
      • The flowmeter was not working at the time of the inspection. The float appeared to be stuck at the bottom of the gauge. Operator informed inspector that it was likely installed incorrectly. Please repair or replace the flowmeter so that the flow rate can be monitored and appropriate recirculation rate can be verified.
    • 12. Are the general safety devices and physical conditions in this pool providing a safe environment (Critical)?
      • The pool has a single main drain. The main drain design/construction could not be verified during the inspection. Please ensure that the pool's system is compliant with section 9 of Alberta's Pool Standard (amended 2018).
    • 14. Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?
      • A glass pipe was visible at the bottom of the pool. The operator removed the pipe using a portable "spa vac" as the pool's single skimmer reportedly does not provide enough flow for the pool vacuum to function. Please ensure the pool basin is clean, in good repair, and does not present a safety hazard to patrons.
    • 17. Does the pool have adequate written policies, plans and posted rules and safety information to ensure that the pool is operating in a safe manner?
      • Written policies, including cleaning plans, pool water contamination incident response, and anti-entrapment compliance plan were not available. Please compile appropriate written policies and ensure they are available to all applicable staff.

    • 04. Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
      • There is currently no chlorine in the pool water and the clarity is poor. Operator informed inspector that they have just changed chemical suppliers. They do not have any disinfectant/sanitizer for the pool and they are planning to remove the chemical systems that are currently installed. The pool must be operated within required chemical parameters. A system that automatically monitors and adjusts the chlorine and pH is required.
