Red Deer Resort & Casino - Whirlpool
3310 50 Avenue Red Deer AB T4N 3X9 · Aquatic Facility
Inspection summary
Red Deer Resort & Casino - Whirlpool has been inspected 40 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since October 23, 2023. The most recent inspection, on June 30, 2026, recorded 1 infraction.
None of the 40 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 6 inspections with 18 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality, Chemicals and toxic substances and Food temperature control.
The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.
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 75 times across 38 separate inspections, most recently on February 4, 2026. For example:
Are the filtration, circulation and disinfection systems used to maintain water quality working properly (Critical)?
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 8 times across 6 separate inspections, most recently on January 23, 2026. For example:
Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Inspectors check that anything that has to be kept at a set temperature, such as chilled or hot food, or equipment like sterilizers, stays in its safe range and that accurate thermometers are on hand. With food, temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 30, 2026. For example:
Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?
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 February 3, 2026. For example:
Are proper testing, monitoring, and other records being properly maintained?
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 once on February 3, 2026. For example:
Does the pool have adequate written policies, plans and posted rules and safety information to ensure that the pool is operating in a safe manner?

- Water sample result showed whirlpool HPC count was greater than 57,000 from sample collected October 2, 2024.PHI spoke with Oscar who collected the sample, and he referred PHI to Allan, maintenance manager.PHI discussed the results with Allan. Allan stated the only thing they did was that they backwashed and nothing else. PHI advised Allan to shock chlorinate the pool, rebalance the chemistry and resample.
