PHYSICAL FACILITY, EQUIPMENT AND FURNISHINGS: 11200 - CCLR s.17 - A licensee must ensure that children do not have access to any object or substance that may be hazardous to the health or safety of a child.
Observation (CORRECTED DURING INSPECTION): Licensing observed the following inside the facility:
- A large, heavy, black rectangular bag with wheels was stored upright beside the emergency exit door of one of the classrooms. This could potentially fall on children, or block the exit if it falls. When this was pointed out during the inspection, the bag was moved and stored horizontally by a staff to avoid the bag from potentially falling.
- During inspection, the door to the staff washroom was closed. However, it was observed that a child opened the door and went into the washroom to wash their hands. A staff stood just outside the door. There was ice melting chemicals stored in the bathroom on the floor just below the sink, and was in an open plastic bag. This could easily be reached by children using the bathroom. A staff moved and stored the ice melting chemicals elsewhere during the inspection. This is a repeat contravention. This item was identified and contravened on March 16, 2020 on routine inspection report #CLAN-BMRVER, and on July 27, 2021 on routine inspection report #MZIN-C5BUHR.
Corrective Action(s): Ensure children do not have access to any objects or substances that may be hazardous to their health and safety.

This item was identified and contravened on July 27, 2021 on routine inspection report #MZIN-C5BUHR.
Corrective Action(s): Ensure that monthly fire drills and yearly emergency drills are completed and recorded. The record should clearly specify which drill was completed (fire drill or emergency drill).
