The province has ramped up the number of restaurant inspections it performs per year in Calgary since a report showed officials were falling far short of their mandated quotas.
Regulations require that Alberta Health Services send inspectors to roughly 15,500 of the more than 85,000 food-serving businesses in Calgary.
But an investigation in 2009 by Alberta's Auditor General revealed that less than 40 per cent of that target was getting inspected in the city — the lowest completion rate in Alberta.
The province now has a 20-person team dedicated to the Calgary area, which has made a difference, according to Dr. Brent Friesen, who is in charge of environmental public health for AHS.
