Inspection summary
Willowbrae Academy River District has been inspected 4 times by Vancouver Coastal Health since March 18, 2024. The most recent inspection, on August 28, 2026, recorded 1 infraction.
None of the 4 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 4 infractions recorded. All recorded findings relate to upkeep, equipment or paperwork rather than direct health risks.
Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.
What these findings mean
Health authorities word their findings differently, so we group them by what they mean for the people in care. Higher-risk findings are the ones that could directly make someone sick, and they matter more here because young children, older adults and people who are unwell are more vulnerable to infection.
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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 28, 2026. For example:
All indoor and outdoor play materials and equipment accessible to children are suitable for the age and development of the children, safely constructed, free from hazards and in good repair. [CCLR Sec. 16(4)]
Food safety training and certificationLower risk
Many jurisdictions require a trained or certified person on site, such as a certified food handler. These findings mean the training record or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean anything was handled unsafely.
Recorded once on May 14, 2026. For example:
The licensee keeps a current record for each child showing the information required. [CCLR Sec. 57]
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 once on March 18, 2024. For example:
Prior to employing staff the manager has met with each person and has obtained the appropriate documentation. [CCLR Sec. 19(1)]
