Canonical: https://verdine.app/ontario-restaurant-inspections/

Ontario restaurant inspection information is published by local public health units, which gives each region its own source format. Verdine helps people review supported Ontario records with a more consistent view of inspection history, issue context, and recent patterns.

## Ontario regions represented in current Verdine coverage include

- Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area
- Hamilton and Waterloo Region
- Ottawa and Eastern Ontario coverage areas
- Niagara, Windsor-Essex, and Middlesex-London
- Simcoe Muskoka, Peterborough, HKPR, and WDG coverage areas

## Why Ontario inspection records vary

Ontario does not have one single consumer portal for every restaurant inspection record. Public health units publish inspection information through their own websites, portals, formats, and terminology.

That regional structure matters. A Toronto record often looks different from an Ottawa record, and a Niagara record uses different status detail than a Waterloo or Peel record. Verdine keeps those differences visible instead of pretending every source publishes the same fields.

## Supported coverage in Verdine

## How Verdine makes Ontario records easier to compare

Inspection history is most useful when you read it as context. A latest inspection, recent prior findings, closure events, or repeated issue patterns can all matter, and each source shapes the details Verdine can summarize.

Verdine normalizes the experience without erasing regional differences. It calls attention to the latest inspection, recent-prior history, repeat issue patterns, and source-specific details so users do not have to piece everything together from separate portals.
