For the past tbree years, tbe Region bas aiso posted on-line summary inspection and offence reports for restaurants in Halton, available at www.balton.ca and by searcbing Dinewise. Regional staff recommended the reporting systcm be expanded over the next year to include ail other food premises. Tbe expansion will include an additional t,000 loca- tions wbere food is prepared, stored or served inciuding cbild-care cen- tres, cafeterias and caterers. Regional staff already inspect these establishments but oniy pro- vide resuits to the public upon request to the bealtb dcpartment.

A Iow rtsk site sucb as a conven- ience store is inspecsed once a vear, a inoderate risk locatton sucbi as a fast food restaurant is inspected twice a year, and a bogb-rssk spot sucb as a full-serve restaurant is inspected tbrice a year.
