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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on January 21, 2026. For example: Exposed pipes are identified by coloured bands (at least 25 mm wide spaced along the piping at intervals not greater than 1.20 m) or by painting the entire outer surface of the pipe (Yellow-Chlorine, Green-Potable Water)

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on April 7, 2026. For example: Records retained for one year

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on January 21, 2026. For example: Safety equipment available and in good repair

  • 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 July 2, 2025. For example: Premises is maintained free from every serious condition that may be a health hazard

  • 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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on April 7, 2026. For example: A method of manual testing is available for use to determine water chemistry
