What these findings mean

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

• 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 once on February 24, 2026. For example: 5(1) No person shall smoke in any enclosed place that is or includes (a) a daycare or pre-school; (b) a school, community college or university; (c) a library, art gallery or museum; (d) a health-care facility; (e) a cinema or theatre; (f) a video arcade or pool hall; (g) a recreational facility where the primary activity is physical recreation, including, but not limited to, a bowling alley, fitness centre, gymnasium, pool or rink; (h) a multi-service centre, community centre or hall, arena, fire hall or church hall; (i) a meeting or conference room or hall, ballroom or conference centre; (j) a retail shop, boutique, market or store or shopping mall; (k) a laundromat; (l) a ferry, ferry terminal, bus, bus station or shelter, taxi, taxi shelter, limousine or vehicle carrying passengers for hire; (m) a work vehicle; (n) the common area of a commercial building or multi-unit residential building including, but not limited to, corridors, lobbies, stairwells, elevators, escalators, eating areas, washrooms and restrooms; (na) a restaurant; (nb) a lounge or beverage room; (nc) a private club; (nd) a cabaret, club or other place licensed to serve alcoholic beverages; (ne) a place that is being used for bingo; (nf) a facility as defined in the Hospitals Act; (o) offices of the Government of the Province, a municipality, a village or an education entity, or any agency thereof; (p) a provincial jail, prison, detention centre, lock-up or reformatory or another provincial penal institution; or (q) any building or facility designated by the regulations, except as permitted by Section 6.

• PestsHigher risk

  Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

  Recorded once on January 31, 2024. For example: 39(1) Except as provided in subsection (2), (3) and (4) an operator must not permit any live animal to be in a food establishment.

• Permits, records and postingLower risk

  Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

  Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on February 24, 2026. For example: 9(1) No employer or manager shall permit any ashtrays in any place at any time when smoking is prohibited in that place by this Act.
