Inspection summary

Super 8 - Pool has been inspected 34 times by Porcupine Health Unit since August 15, 2022. The most recent inspection, on August 12, 2026, found no infractions.

12 of 34 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 5 inspections with 2 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality, Chemicals and toxic substances and Food temperature control.

The last 4 inspections in a row found no infractions. 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 15 times across 11 separate inspections, most recently on November 19, 2025. For example: Pool and deck areas meet requirements and are free from potential health hazards.

  • 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 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on November 19, 2025. For example: All chemicals required in the operation of the pool are handled and stored safely.

  • 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 once on April 30, 2025. For example: Pool chemistry, water clarity, and water temperature (if applicable) are checked, tested, and recorded at least 30 minutes prior to opening and as required throughout the daily use period.

  • Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk

    This covers how food and supplies are stored and handled: kept covered, off the floor, and away from anything that could contaminate them. Where food is served, raw meat must be kept away from ready-to-eat food, a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.

    Recorded once on May 9, 2023. For example: Water is maintained free from visible matter and contamination

  • 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 12 times across 12 separate inspections, most recently on June 4, 2025. For example: Daily records are kept and signed each operating day, and retained for one year.
