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 once on June 30, 2026. For example: SHALLOW WATER sign posted where a pool has a maximum water depth of less than 2.50 metres.

• 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 June 17, 2025. For example: Safety equipment available and in good repair.

• 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 June 10, 2025. For example: Premises is operated and maintained free from every condition that may be a potential/immediate health hazard.

• 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 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 30, 2026. For example: Fully supplied first aid kit is provided and conveniently located for emergency use.
