NORTH BAY, ON - The North Bay Parry Sound District Health Unit (Health Unit) has made it easier for the public to access local health inspection results through the new online portal called Check Then Go. The Check Then Go online portal shows real-time inspection results for inspected businesses and settings throughout the region served by the Health Unit.
The public can access the Check Then Go portal by going to myhealthunit.ca/CheckThenGo, or by scanning the QR code on the Health Unit’s inspection disclosure signage located at the entrance of inspected businesses and settings.
“The purpose of the program is to provide inspection information that will help residents and visitors make informed decisions to protect their health,” explains Shauna Riley, Public Health Inspector at the Health Unit. “I encourage people to visit the portal and check the inspection history of a food premise or personal service setting before making plans.”
Included in the online portal are food premises, such as restaurants and food trucks; personal service settings, such as salons and spas; recreational water locations, such as public beaches and pools; childcare centres; recreational camps; and, small drinking water systems. Smoke-Free Ontario Act, 2017 violations will not be available through the portal, but can be accessed on the Check Then Go webpage.
In addition to the Check Then Go portal, green, yellow, or red compliance signs showing the current inspection status of a business or premise are displayed at the entrance of inspected food premises, and personal service settings.
Questions about public health inspections can be directed to the Health Unit’s Environmental Health program at 1-800-563-2808 ext. 5400 or by email at environmental.health@healthunit.ca.
