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.

• Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk

  Cleaning products, disinfectants and pesticides must be labelled and stored safely, away from food and from surfaces people touch. Inspectors flag chemicals that could contaminate food or harm people, as well as pest treatments applied without proper supervision.

  Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 22, 2026. For example: There are secure, safe and adequate storage areas for cleaning agents, chemical products and other hazardous materials [RCR Sec 35(1)(c)]

• 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 9 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on September 23, 2025. For example: There is an emergency plan displayed in a prominent place that sets out procedures to prepare for, mitigate, respond to and recover from any emergency, including procedures for evacuation and how persons in care will be cared for [RCR Sec 51(1),(4)]

• 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 3 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on September 23, 2025. For example: Employees have been trained in the implementation of the plans and in the use of emergency equipment [RCR Sec 51(3)]

• Food safety training and certificationLower risk

  Many jurisdictions require a trained or certified person on site, such as a certified food handler. These findings mean the training record or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean anything was handled unsafely.

  Recorded once on July 31, 2024. For example: Persons in care have at all times immediate access to an employee who is certified in first aid and CPR, knowledgeable about their medical condition and able to communicate with emergency personnel [RCR Sec 43(1);DOLSOP Preventing Opioid Overdose]

• Other findingsLower risk

  Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.

  Recorded 2 times on May 4, 2022. For example: A restraint used under section 74(1)(b) that continues either continuously or intermittently for more than 24 hours is reassessed within the specified time consulting with those who agreed to the use of the restraint [RCR Sec 75(3)]
