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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 4, 2022. For example: Water treatment provided ensures water provided meets requirements of Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standards to ensure it is potable

  • 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 August 4, 2022. For example: System is maintained in good repair, in a safe and sanitary condition and is checked/operated/calibrated at required frequencies and in accordance with requirements under Regulation 319/08 and manufacturers instructions

  • 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 August 26, 2026. For example: Information available to the public upon request

  • 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 2 times on August 27, 2019. For example: Every owner and operator complies with all sampling, testing, monitoring and reporting requirements.

  • 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 August 27, 2019. For example: Where a SDWS provides chlorine for secondary disinfection, the equipment is properly operated and maintained.
