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 11 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on September 16, 2026. For example: Manual tests are conducted and recorded at least every 2 hours for pool with no automatic sensing device.

  • 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 6 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on June 24, 2026. For example: Daily records are kept and signed each operating day.

  • 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 5 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on June 24, 2026. For example: Public pool and its equipment maintained in a safe and sanitary condition and in proper working order.

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 16, 2026. For example: Facility is kept clean, free from slipperiness and disinfected, free of hazardous obstructions and ventilated to remove odours.

  • 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 16 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on September 16, 2026. For example: Cyanuric stabilization is only used outdoors and is not greater than 60 ppm.
