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 20 times across 15 separate inspections, most recently on March 28, 2025. For example: Pool ramp notices posted in letters not less than 150 mm high (pools with one or more ramps)

  • Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

    Pool chemicals such as chlorine and acid must be labelled, stored apart from each other and handled safely. Mixing them by mistake can release toxic gas, so storage and handling problems are treated seriously.

    Recorded 6 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on February 13, 2023. For example: Continuous operation of all equipment and chemical feeders

  • 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 9 times across 8 separate inspections, most recently on September 26, 2018. For example: Emergency telephone sign posted with complete list of emergency contacts

  • 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on September 27, 2016. For example: Deck and walls maintained in a sanitary condition and free from hazards

  • 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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 27, 2016. For example: Gas chlorine (Cl) handled properly, safety equipment present and chlorinating equipment operational
