I attended the Siksika Health Fair, held today at the Sportsplex. I don't know who's responsible for cleaning and maintenance, but I question how long someone has been neglecting their job. I was so disappointed in the condition of the facility restrooms. Knowing that a significant community event was on the roster, you'd think someone would ensure the place would be in its finest condition.
There are several restroom areas for men and women, as this complex is huge. The women's restroom closest to the large arena was a disaster. Several stalls were unusable because either the toilet didn't work or the door was smaller than the frame and you had no privacy. The stall that I did use actually had feces on the wall. Soap was lacking. I looked everywhere because I couldn't believe my eyes. In doing so, I noticed that the ceiling was creatively decorated. I don't know about you, but as I kid I engaged in the prank that involved soaking toilet paper and whipping it at the ceiling to make it stick. That's what was all over the ceiling. Thankfully I found the other restrooms, which were considerably better in comparison, but still not in very good condition. Long strands of toilet paper were hanging in the stalls to cover up gaps.
I toured some of the Sportsplex, as I'd not been here before. I truly couldn't believe the size and assume many activities take place here, hence the reason for certain areas to be dilapidated. I was impressed that there is a gym. The venue really was perfect for the Health Fair and the amount of attendees, but if I ever go here again, I sure hope it's cleaned up. Such a community asset should be treated like a treasure. read more
