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.

• 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 once on July 2, 2025. For example: Water is maintained free from visible matter and contamination

• 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 July 2, 2025. For example: Shallow Water / No Diving Caution Notice (pool water depth < 2.5 m)

• Permits, records and postingLower risk

  Operating permits, water-test logs, posted bather rules and emergency procedures. Daily test logs are how operators show the water was checked and treated between inspections.

  Recorded once on June 30, 2026. For example: Other records signed and completed

• 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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 10, 2026. For example: Cyanuric acid is less than 60 ppm
