Public health inspection reports for public pools now online

Albertans are now able to search and view public health inspection reports for public pools on ahs.ca/inspections, and will soon be able to do the same for personal services and childcare facilities.

Officials with Alberta Health Services say this additional information will support Albertans in making health and wellness decisions for themselves and their families.

It’s noted Albertans have had access to food facility inspection reports online since 2008. While pool, personal service and childcare facilities have always been inspected and reports available upon request, AHS says it has not previously posted the reports online. New pool facility inspection reports are now being posted and accessible online. Personal services facility inspection reports will be available starting April 3, with childcare facility inspection reports on May 1.

“AHS works with all restaurant, pool, personal service and childcare operators to ensure the facilities are safe and support the health of Albertans,” says Mark Fehr, Executive Director for Safe Healthy Environments with Alberta Health Services (AHS). “By enhancing online access to a broader range of public health inspection reports, this initiative will help Albertans make additional informed choices for themselves and their families.”
