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 7 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on December 1, 2025. For example: Black disc (150 mm in diameter) on white background permanently affixed to bottom of pool at its deepest point

  • 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 5 times across 5 separate inspections, most recently on December 1, 2025. For example: Premises is maintained free from every serious condition that may be a health hazard

  • 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 5 times across 4 separate inspections, most recently on November 18, 2025. For example: Daily records completed, signed and available for viewing

  • 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 10 times across 8 separate inspections, most recently on July 31, 2026. For example: Recirculation system of water facility is in good working condition (including automatic dosing device)
