Nominations for Canada’s Best Restroom 2022 are now open!

The annual contest run by Cintas Canada asks the public to help identify the most appealing washroom in the country.

Canada’s Best Restroom highlights businesses that have invested in developing and maintaining exceptional washrooms. Nominees for this year’s contest will be judged on five criteria: cleanliness, visual appeal, innovation, functionality and unique design elements.

Cintas Canada will select five finalists and ask the public to vote for the grand prize winner between June 6 and July 8, 2022. The winner will receive $2,500 in facility services from Cintas to help maintain their award-winning washrooms.

“A customer’s experience in the washroom can affect their perceived cleanliness of the whole facility, which can impact their experience and potential repeat business,” said Candice Raynsford, Marketing Manager, Cintas Canada. “Finalists in this contest deserve the utmost recognition for investing in clean and memorable washrooms. Businesses big and small can earn invaluable national exposure by participating in the contest.”

Last year, Borden Park in Edmonton was crowned the grand prize winner for its single-level pavilion washrooms surrounded by highly reflective glass.

“It was a privilege to be recognized by Cintas Canada for having washrooms that are inviting and clean for people to use,” said Nicole Fraser, General Supervisor of Planning and Monitoring, Infrastructure Operations at the City of Edmonton. “The pandemic has highlighted the importance of having accessibility to washrooms in parks and open spaces so that all Edmontonians and visitors to Edmonton can continue to access them.”
