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 once on June 9, 2026. For example:
Free available chlorine (FAC) within range of 0.5 ppm to 10 ppm.
Food safety training and certificationLower risk
Many jurisdictions require trained pool operators and certified lifeguards. These findings mean required training, certification or staffing records were missing at the time of inspection.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 9, 2026. For example:
Pool notices contain required information and displayed in correct places.
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 9, 2026. For example:
Daily records are kept and signed each operating day.
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 once on June 9, 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 June 9, 2026. For example:
Premises is operated and maintained free from conditions that may be an immediate health hazard.
