Get Ready® to meet the finalists in the 2016 Canada’s
Best Restroom contest! Hosted by Cintas Canada, Ltd., the Canada’s
Best Restroom contest shines a spotlight on public restrooms with
stunning stalls or incredible architectural details. The public is
invited to cast an online ballot for their favourite washroom at
www.bestrestroom.com/canada through Oct. 24.
“This year’s nominees made it nearly impossible to narrow them
down to only five finalists,” said Shawn King, Marketing Manager,
Cintas Corporation. “These finalists truly understand the impact
that being Ready® and having a clean, well-maintained and
stocked public restroom has on customer service and repeat
business.”
The 2016 finalists for the Cintas Canada’s Best Restroom contest
include:
1.
W Montreal – Montreal, Québec
The restrooms at W Montreal are a reflection of the city’s duality.
Behind a former Bank façade, the W Montreal is where work and play
merge both above and below ground, day and night. Its restrooms
embrace this contrast, proving that design and function can
coexist. The signature W fragrance, hand carved stone sink and
immaculate styling provide for a sensory experience that extends
the overall W energy.
2.
Sauce Italian Kitchen & Market –
Calgary, Alberta
The restrooms at the Sauce Italian Kitchen & Market are a true
luxury, featuring a sculpted bronze handle on the solid wood entry
door and sparkling epoxy floors. Each restroom stall boasts a full
height white glass door with polished chrome hardware, Murano glass
chandelier, purse ledge and tall mirror. The vanity, with its
custom polished chrome base, is what takes this restroom to the
next level. But function has not been overlooked, as the restroom
utilizes only the best modern fixtures with touchless water flow on
the lavatories and flushing of toilets.
3.
Assiniboine Park Lyric Theatre –
Winnipeg, Manitoba
The architecturally eye-catching, fun and colorful Assiniboine Park
Lyric Theatre restrooms are constructed from three decommissioned
forty-foot long sea containers. The innovative upcycling of these
shipping containers solved both budget and construction
constraints. The three containers add a fun feeling of modernity to
the Park, juxtaposing the historical feel of the surrounding Lyric
Theatre and Pavilion Gallery Museum buildings. The original yet
practical design received the 2014 AZ Award for Design Excellence
and the 2014 Prairie Design Award of Excellence.
4.
Whitecourt Esso Super Station –
Whitecourt, Alberta
Decorative lighting mounted overhead immediately catches your eye
in these restrooms along the Alaska Highway. The men’s restroom
features brown monochrome design paired with decorative wall tiles,
giving this modern restroom a classy look. The combination of
straight and curve edges on the countertops creates an interesting
piece of art. Meanwhile, white subway and mosaic tiles give the
women’s space a sleek and clean feel. Decorative sconces and ornate
carved mirrors are perfectly placed along the walls to add a final
touch of elegance.
5.
East Village – Calgary, Alberta
In August 2011, the Calgary Municipal Land Corp. installed these
high-tech, self-cleaning public toilets in Calgary’s East Village.
They cost US$125,000 to build and boast automated toilet roll
dispensers, modern hand washing and drying facilities and
self-flushing capabilities. The washrooms play music when the door
is closed and locked, and a sanitized toilet seat emerges from the
wall. After 10 minutes, the doors automatically open, so there’s no
lingering in this loo. They also feature artwork displayed on the
exterior walls, which changes every 24 months.
The five finalists were selected based on cleanliness, visual
appeal, innovation, functionality and unique design elements. The
winner will receive the royal restroom treatment from Cintas with
$2,500 in facility services to keep their restrooms Ready for
the Workday®.
Last year’s winner was the 1000 Islands Duty Free Shop in
Lansdowne, Ontario, which won for its wow factor and attention to
detail in both the women’s and men’s restrooms.
