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 once on September 2, 2026. For example:
301 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not maintained in sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
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 once on February 22, 2023. For example:
304 - Premises not free of pests [s. 26(a)]
Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk
Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.
Recorded once on February 22, 2023. For example:
401 - Critical Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]

3 inspections
- Routine Inspection
1 infraction
- 301 - Critical Equipment/utensils/food contact surfaces not maintained in sanitary condition [s. 17(1)]
- Observation: Utensils and other food-contact items stored within the dishwasher were observed to be unclean and contaminated with mold growth at the time of inspection. The manager stated that the facility had not been operating and that cleaning had not been completed during the seasonal closure. (Public Health Significance): Moldy and contaminated utensils and food-contact items can introduce biological contaminants to food and food-contact surfaces, creating a risk of food contamination and foodborne illness if used without adequate cleaning and sanitizing prior to operation.
- Corrective Action: Regardless of operational status, food-contact equipment and utensils must be maintained in a clean and sanitary condition and protected from contamination at all times. All utensils, food-contact equipment, and items stored within the dishwasher must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized prior to use. The operator must ensure that all food-contact items are maintained in a clean, sanitary, and contamination-free condition at all times. Reassessment will be conducted during the follow-up inspection prior to reopening.

- Observation: Evidence of mice; droppings were noted in the facility. (Public Health Significance) Rodents and other pests may cross contaminate foods and surfaces or contaminate human food with feces and urine, carry parasites and other diseases.
- Corrective Action: Clean and sanitize areas where droppings are located and send a photo of the cleaned area to the Environmental Health Officer. Continue to monitor these locations for any new droppings (new droppings indicate an active pest situation). Remove any pest attractants such as food and water, eliminate access to the building and routes they use inside. Trap and remove any pest. Consider the use of a professional pest control operator if an active infestation is found.
- 401 - Critical Adequate handwashing stations not available for employees [s. 21(4)]
- Observation: Bar area did not have any hand soap or paper towel present. Hot and cold running water, hand soap, paper towel must be present to allow for proper hand washing. (Public Health Significance) Hand washing is an important practice to ensure food are protected from cross contamination from other previously handled foods or contact surfaces.
- Corrective Action: Provide soap and paper towel in dispensers to the bar area to facilitate proper hand washing. Ensure that one of the sink compartments designated as the hand washing sink and is accessible at all times to be used for hand washing.
