What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for your health. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

• Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

  This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

  Recorded 6 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on August 19, 2026. For example: Multiple use equipment/instrument(s) are cleaned and disinfected/sterilized appropriately after each client and as often as necessary to maintain in a sanitary manner.

• Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

  Hands are one of the main ways germs spread, from person to person and onto food and surfaces. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing their hands when required, and sick staff being kept away from work where it matters. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

  Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 19, 2026. For example: Operator(s) are aware of the best practices with respect to infection control in personal service settings.

• Equipment and utensilsLower risk

  Equipment has to be made of cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked surface or worn part. They are generally lower risk but show how well the place is maintained.

  Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 19, 2026. For example: Equipment/instrument(s) are maintained in good repair and in a sanitary condition.

• Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

  Floors, walls and ceilings must be clean and in good repair, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate health risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.

  Recorded once on April 8, 2025. For example: The reprocessing area has an appropriately sized sink, continuously supplied with potable hot and cold running water and is equipped with adequate counter space.

• 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 19, 2026. For example: Disinfectants have a Drug Identification Number (DIN) or Natural Product Number (NPN).
