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.

• Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

  Hands are one of the main ways germs spread, from person to person and onto food and surfaces. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing their hands when required, and sick staff being kept away from work where it matters. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

  Recorded 2 times on February 18, 2026. For example: Every person who provides a personal service performs hand hygiene as appropriate.

• 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 February 18, 2026. For example: Multiple use equipment/instrument(s) are cleaned and disinfected/sterilized appropriately after each client and as often as necessary to maintain in a sanitary manner.

• 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 on February 18, 2026. For example: All equipment/instrument(s) that cannot be cleaned and disinfected/sterilized are single-use disposable.

• 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 February 18, 2026. For example: Premises provides notification in writing of: intention to operate, any additional services being provided, and/or any new construction or renovations.

• 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 These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.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 February 18, 2026. For example: Records related to accidental exposures to blood or body fluids are maintained, documented and accessible.
