Origin

(April 13, 2015) Report from the Medical Officer of Health

Summary

In April 2014, the Board of Health (BOH) requested the Medical Officer of Health (MOH) to report back on measures to strengthen the protection of health, safety and well-being of residents of Toronto through an expansion of onsite posting of inspection notices for food premises and a new requirement for onsite posting of inspection notices for recreational water facilities.

 

This report provides a summary of the form and content of a by-law being proposed by Toronto Public Health (TPH), in consultation with the City Solicitor, in response to this request. The proposed by-law requires all food premises not already participating in the DineSafe program (e.g., daycare centres, nursing homes, hospitals) and all public swimming pools and spas to post onsite inspection notices issued by the Medical Officer of Health.
