Official record from Alberta →

Inspection summary

Stony Plain Travelodge - Whirlpool has been inspected 17 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since November 16, 2023. The most recent inspection, on May 29, 2026, recorded 1 infraction.

None of the 17 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 9 inspections with 30 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Food temperature control, Chemicals and toxic substances and Pool and spa water quality.

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.

  • 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 15 times across 9 separate inspections, most recently on May 29, 2026. For example: Is the pool maintained in a clean and sanitary condition, good repair and are temperatures being properly regulated?

  • 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 15 times across 14 separate inspections, most recently on February 13, 2026. For example: Is the chemical quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Non-Critical)?

  • 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 13 times across 10 separate inspections, most recently on May 22, 2026. For example: Is the bacteriological quality of the water in this pool satisfactory (Critical)?

  • 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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on January 22, 2026. For example: Are proper testing, monitoring, and other records being properly maintained?
