  Observation. Overall the program is clean and well maintained. During last year's inspection, CCFL noted the paint was showing wear and tear. The plan at that time was to repaint during the summer of 2022. This did not happen and the condition of the walls and paint has deteriorated further. There are chips out of the drywall, tears in the drywall paper, worn paint with stains and colouring marks. Discussed the situation with the Manager. Manager confirmed that repainting is easiest to schedule during summer of 2023. Stated that the facility must be painted by September 5, 2023. Noted the front windows are smeared and marked with hand prints etc. Manager noted the prior janitor used to clean the windows even though it was not in the scope of duties. Manager confirmed he would address the dirty windows asap. Also noted the white stool in the washroom is dirty and difficult to clean. Strongly recommended replacing the stool with one that is sturdy but of a more forgiving colour.
