The contest is meant to highlight businesses that have invested in developing and maintaining exceptional washrooms.

“These five facilities demonstrate a commitment to prioritizing hygiene and customer service — especially as cleanliness is so important right now — combined with creativity and whimsy not usually seen in washrooms,” said Candice Raynsford, marketing manager with Cintas Canada.

Nominees were judged on five criteria: cleanliness, visual appeal, innovation, functionality and unique elements.

Here’s a look at the five finalists.

Borden Park – Edmonton, Alta.

This washroom is located in a city park in northeast Edmonton and designed by gh3.

The washrooms are located within a single-level pavilion surrounded by reflective glass. Cintas said an “integrated approach to environmental sustainability” is evident in the choice of materials, which include wood, concrete and glass.

Hands-free elements are used to reduce germs and a stainless-steel trough-style sink prevents water from splashing on the floor.

“The sleek washroom stands as a striking improvement on the typical concrete options, and a sign of outstanding design to come,” according to the Cintas nominee list.

Sweet Market Esso Station – Red Deer, Alta.

Located in an Esso gas station, these washrooms in Red Deer include high-end tiles and five-star finishes.

Artwork, herringbone floors, chandeliers and gold-rimmed mirrors make the facilities feel more like a high-end hotel than a gas station pit stop.

“These washrooms are always a topic of customer conversation in the store where selfies take centre stage. The constant comments regarding the awe of it all — plus the extreme cleanliness — are great reminders of the sheer elegance and grandeur these restrooms provide for the customer,” reads the Cintas website.

A life-sized bobblehead greets patrons as they enter “the alley.” Graffiti wallpaper with sections taken largely from the “John Lennon Peace Wall,” originally created in Prague, line the walls of the washrooms.

The bathrooms also include a porta-potty door in the “mostly men” section and hidden selfie walls.

Toronto Zoo – Toronto, Ont.

The new washrooms in the Tundra Trek at the Toronto Zoo have made the list for their mission of connecting people, animals and conservation science to fight extinction.

They also feature iconic Canadian species, with polar bear figures separating the urinals and paw prints on the floor.

Cool blue mosaic walls are meant to represent the calm transition of horizon to sky, and dark and dramatic overheard features represent the vast night sky across the tundra.

Each handwashing unit features a hands-free faucet, soap dispenser and hand dryer. The trough-style sink eliminates water splashing on the floor and includes hooks on the outside of the counter to hang a purse, backpack or coat.

In 2019, the title was also won by an Alberta bathroom when a Lac La Biche gas station took home the top nod.

In 2018, the St. Albert Honda dealership north of Edmonton won the prize.

The winner of the Canada’s Best Restroom contest will receive $2,500 in facility services from Cintas to help maintain their award-winning washrooms.
