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.

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on February 18, 2026. For example: Are clients at this facility being protected from hazards (Critical)?

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on January 31, 2024. For example: Are properly operating hand washing sink(s) available in suitable location(s), and properly stocked with handwashing supplies?

  • 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, supplies and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.

    Recorded once on January 31, 2024. For example: Are proper measures being taken to ensure that vermin do not enter or exist in the facility (Non-Critical)?

  • Equipment and utensilsLower risk

    Equipment has to be made of cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked surface or worn part. They are generally lower risk but show how well the place is maintained.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on March 17, 2026. For example: Are indoor play areas and equipment sufficient and being properly maintained to ensure client safety (Non-Critical)?

  • 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 once on December 21, 2023. For example: Are proper protocols being followed in regards to client care?

      • **Updated March 18th, 2026: Homemade flour was still being used.Flour must be RTE when purchased and cannot be cooked onsite to make it RTE**Homemade playdough with regular flour is used. Please discard them and make playdough with other safer alternatives. Information regarding the safe playdough usage: In childcare facilities, safety is crucial, making alternatives to raw flour-based recipes important. Cornstarch-based playdough is a safer option, as cornstarch undergoes processing that reduces microbial risks, unlike corn flour, which carries similar safety concerns to raw flour. Additionally, cornstarch is often treated with small amounts of sulphur dioxide as a preservative, further enhancing its safety.Ready-to-eat (RTE) flour, which is thermal-treated to eliminate harmful bacteria, is another safe alternative for use in playdough or consumption. Products like Ardent Mill's SafeGuard flour and Honeyville's TempSure flour are processed for safety but are typically more expensive and harder to find in small quantities. Childcare facilities should source RTE flour from reputable suppliers that meet Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) regulations and ensure the product is labeled "Heat Treated" for safety.
