9 of 22 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 3 inspections with 2 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Pool and spa water quality and Chemicals and toxic substances.

The last 2 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 33 times across 13 separate inspections, most recently on May 21, 2026. For example: The pool pH level is properly maintained

  • 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 December 31, 2020. For example: Chemicals are stored in a safe manner and location

  • 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 4 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on August 20, 2024. For example: Pool equipment is regularly tested for safety and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers' specifications

  • 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 once on August 20, 2024. For example: Construction or alterations have occurred with a valid construction permit or waiver.
