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 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on July 30, 2026. For example: Pool is equipped with anti-entrapment device or pool design (i.e.: unblockable drain, multiple main drains 3 feet apart, gravity drain system)

  • 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 9 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on July 30, 2026. For example: Public pool and its equipment maintained in a safe and sanitary condition and in proper working order.

  • 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 4 separate inspections, most recently on July 30, 2026. For example: Daily records are kept and signed each operating day.

  • 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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on July 22, 2026. For example: Pool notices contain required information and displayed in correct places.

  • 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 once on June 23, 2026. For example: Facility is kept clean, free from slipperiness and disinfected, free of hazardous obstructions and ventilated to remove odours.
