What these findings mean

Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people in care. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly make someone sick, and they matter more here because young children, older adults and people who are unwell are more vulnerable to infection.

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hand hygiene is the most important way to stop germs spreading between children, residents and staff. Inspectors check that sinks are stocked and easy to reach, that staff wash their hands when required (for example after diapering or before handling food), and that sick staff stay away from work.

    Recorded once on September 24, 2025. For example: 1 - Are acceptable hygiene practices maintained?

About this data

These results come from Interior Health Authority, which inspects food premises and other public facilities in this area. We republish the authority's public disclosure data and refresh it regularly; the official record is the final word.

8 inspections

  1. Routine Inspection

    1 infraction

    • C6.1 - Are acceptable hygiene practices maintained?
      • Observation(s): The Licensing Officer noted that the diapering area was located inside a bedroom used by children for napping, specifically on one of the beds designated for rest. This setup is not ideal for maintaining hygiene and controlling the spread of communicable diseases. Although a designated handwashing sink was available nearby down the hall adjacent to the bedroom, having the washbasin separate from the diapering area may reduce its effectiveness in preventing germ transmission. During the inspection, the Licensee addressed the issue by placing a bassinet directly outside the washroom designated for diaper changes. The equipment enables diaper changes while standing, appears safe for the children in care, is positioned next to a sink for handwashing, and does not block any emergency exits. Based on the Licensee’s corrective actions, the concern is deemed resolved, and no additional measures are necessary.
      • C6.1A - Provide a sturdy surface for changing diapers, located outside the food preparation area, next to both a covered container for soiled clothing and a wash basin; (does not apply to Preschool ( 30 Months to School Age) or Group Child Care-School Age ); 14( 4 )(a)(b)
