What these findings mean
Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for your health. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Permits, records and postingLower risk
Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.
Recorded once on October 15, 2024. For example:
Records related to accidental exposures to blood or body fluids are maintained, documented and accessible.
Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk
Floors, walls and ceilings must be clean and in good repair, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate health risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.
Recorded once on October 15, 2024. For example:
Premises provides notification in writing of: intention to operate, any additional services being provided, and/or any new construction or renovations.
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 once on October 15, 2024. For example:
Adequate and appropriate storage provided for equipment/instrument(s) and supplies.
Other findingsLower risk

Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 13, 2025. For example:
