The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

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.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded 16 times across 12 separate inspections, most recently on March 12, 2026. For example: All equipment, food contact surfaces, utensils, dishes & glasses used on the premises are washed and sanitized in a manner that removes contamination.

  • 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 7 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on January 19, 2024. For example: The premises is free of pests.

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on May 21, 2025. For example: Potentially hazardous food is thawed in a manner that makes it safe to eat.

  • Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk

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

    Recorded 7 times across 7 separate inspections, most recently on June 21, 2024. For example: Operation and maintenance of premises is in accordance with approved floor plans and specifications.

  • 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 5 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on March 12, 2026. For example: Operator of a food service establishment has approved written procedures to ensure the safe and sanitary operation of the establishment.

    I`m so full of gratitude for the Yukon Shelter as they helped me change my life for the better. They gave me a place to stay and helped me get clean and helped direct me to deal with some medical issues i had at the time. Fantastic staff both in the shelter and in the tenancy area upstairs. THANKS SO MUCH!! Sincerely John Weirmeir.

  • Khalda Yagoob

    This is the best place I have ever been to in my stay in Canada. I loved the staff. Although I have a home now, I will always remember this place. I felt safe despite being unhoused.

  • brendon Pizzati

    I had a shorter but sweet stay at the Shelter. It is very like a good hotel. Great food. Great accommodations. Great staff. And I was able to have Gabrielle and Samson, my two furry friends and my two Beta fish too. I can highly recommend this home away from home.

  • Sylvia N

    Amazing staff. Women's rooms are on a separate floor than mens; men are not allowed in the women's hallway but will sometimes use that washroom around mealtimes. Good food & fair sized portions. Serves three meals daily. Requires doctors note to stay in rooms between breakfast & dinner on weekdays but lounge is open all day. Live piano music played at dinners occasionally.

  • Dianna LMercier

    Everybody's experience is different, it really depends on why a person is here, possibly what trauma they have had etc. Some are just doing the circuit and are unreachable and some have truly been victimized and feel lost and hopeless. These are the people they (the staff) should focus on. It is often hard to distinguish the two, as the people who r doing the circuit are quite good at lying and know how to manipulate the system and are quite often they travel in groups of 3 or more. The staff ,not all, but some do work hard and do ,at times have dangerous situations arise .Staff should, because of the changes that have been pushed upon all of us by the greed of our government/elitist , should be retrained in dangerous situations, as the guests in the shelter are becoming more dangerous . Security at night is non-existent and in the same building is an apartment full of tenants who pay rent to live here. At times the shelter guests get up stairs and it is quite unsafe.

  • u two

    Staff very helpful. Safe and clean and good access to people's needs.

  • Juanita Stankovic

    Be careful. I've never been there without seeing cockroaches. Even worse are the bed bugs, they are everywhere so if you walk inside spray your shoes with bleach before you leave.

  • Britta

    ALERT ❗️❗️The staff and the food is okay ❗️BUT THE PLACE IS FULL OF TOXIC MOLD ❗️within the walls; it’s a serious health hazard. The building needs a major overhaul and a good deep cleaning, including the suites upstairs.
