The Martingrove Collegiate cafeteria unconditionally passed
its Toronto Public Health DineSafe Inspection on November
17th,.
This is the first time the cafeteria has ever received
an unconditional pass on the first inspection. It is also
the first inspection since Aramark Canada Ltd. took over
operation in September, 2002. However, students attending
Martingrove C.I. would not have been made aware of the inspection
results, as a Dinesafe sign to indicate its health inspection
results was not posted by the Toronto Public Health in-spector.
The DineSafe program, operated by the City of Toronto through
Toronto Public Health, includes a series of coloured rating
signs that must, by law, be made visible to the customers
at any eating establishment. Currently, the sign is placed
approximately 3 metres behind the counter.
The inspection results for most establishments are available
on the Internet; however, since the Martingrove cafeteria
was recently reclassified as a private access cafeteria,
its results are no longer available online.
According to Gerry Lawrence, Manager of Healthy Environments
for the West Region, this is a result of attempts to harmonize
the classification systems used in the former City of Etobicoke
with that used in the current City of Toronto, as well as
a reflection of the changes that have taken place at Martingrove
since the cafeteria was operated by Pizza Pizza and Tim
Horton's. He also said that the Richview C.I. and Etobicoke
C.I. cafeterias will be removed from the website as well
to reflect this change.
"This is unfortunate," explained Martingrove student
Maxine Chan, "the online disclosure system was the
easiest and most accessible way for all students to learn
about the [Martingrove] cafete-ria's previous inspection
results."
All health inspection reports are nonetheless available
for public viewing from Toronto Public Health at their offices.
