The company and owners Peter and Ian Huang are charged with failing to follow the Alberta Fire Code, including failing to maintain sprinkler systems in the buildings.
The fire department says this is the second time that Enterprise Universal has been charged with such offences, which carry a maximum fine of $30,000.
The accused are to appear in provincial court Aug. 1.
Enterprise, which purchased the site from the Alberta government in 1997, says it will vigorously defend itself and believe it will be fully exonerated.
Alberta Health Services spokesman Don Stewart would not comment because it’s before the court.
