Inspection summary

Holiday Inn Express - Swimming Pool has been inspected 19 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since November 7, 2023. The most recent inspection, on September 29, 2026, found no infractions.

5 of 19 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 6 inspections with 3 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality.

Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.

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 13 times across 12 separate inspections, most recently on September 15, 2026. For example: Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?

  • 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 9 times across 9 separate inspections, most recently on July 26, 2024. 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?

    • 07. Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Non-Critical)?
      • **- Flow rate was at 64 GPM, yielding a calculated turnover time of 4.6 hours. Flow rate must be maintained between 74–105 GPM to comply with regulatory turnover (max 4 hours) and filtration rates not more than 15gpm/sq.ft** pH was 7.52 (noting the controller was reading a pH of 7.9). The operator stated he cleans the probes regularly. The controller's pH reading is not consistent with manual test.- Adequate surface skimming was observed, with the water level sitting halfway up the skimmer opening.ACTION REQUIRED:1) Calibrate probes and properly program the controller to automatically maintain water chemistry, eliminating the need for frequent manual chlorine dosing. Given that the current maintenance staff is not yet a certified pool operator, technical assistance may be required to recalibrate and reset the controller.2) Maintained flow rate between 74-105GPM to comply with regulatory turnover and filtration rate

    • 02. Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
      • Sample collected December 23, 2025 results were present for Total Coliforms.

  6. Monitoring Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 15. Has an owner or owner's agent, if any, been identified and is the pool operated and maintained by a qualified pool operator?
      • **Proper training on the use of the ColorQ pool test kit is essential for all maintenance staff. During a recent demonstration of pool chemistry testing, the staff member failed to perform two critical steps: rinsing the cuvette and blanking the machine before testing for different parameters. The inspector subsequently demonstrated the correct procedure.

  9. Monitoring Inspection

    1 infraction

    • 15. Has an owner or owner's agent, if any, been identified and is the pool operated and maintained by a qualified pool operator?
      • ** The main trained pool operator was absent for health reasons. The maintenance person assisting in running the pool was not knowledgeable enough to perform any pool chemistry adjust:- First, he had disconnected the acid feeder from power on the grounds that it was feeding too much acid.- Secondly, his readings taken that morning showed that all chemical parameters were compliant, but logs showed that he added more chemicals into the pool. When asked why he added more chemicals and what quantity? He stated that he does not trust the controller and he added about a cup of the chemicals. He did not even know what the pool volume was before making chemicals into the pool.RECOMMENDATIONS:1) Only trained pool operators should be allowed to make any chemical adjustment in the pool.2) Ensure that any staff assisting with pool testing should be well trained and familiar with the required chemical parameters for the pool and hot tub.3) Establish a guiding document with all the pool chemical parameters for the staff to reference when needed. The document should also clearly outline chemical adjustment procedures.
