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 41 times across 16 separate inspections, most recently on June 24, 2026. For example:
The pool is clean, clear of obstructions, and adequately supplied
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 March 27, 2019. For example:
Chemicals are stored in a safe manner and location
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 7 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on May 20, 2026. For example:
Adequate safety equipment is provided
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 January 14, 2025. For example:
Construction or alterations have occurred with a valid construction permit or waiver.
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 once on January 14, 2025. For example:
The heat trace system is functioning properly and keeps deck clear of snow and ice.
