Hecla Village
Posted: May 20, 2018 Filed under: Canadian Toilets, Composting Toilets, Manitoba, Outdoors Leave a commentOn the Sunday I took a drive about 2 hours north of Winnipeg to the Hecla Provincial Park. It’s a beautiful little peninsula that extends out into Lake Winnipeg, with pleasant roads, trails, fishing, scenery and opportunities to see Manitoba wildlife up close & personal.
Drop toilets featured prominently across the park, I guess because of the limited plumbing & electricity service. I stopped briefly in Hecla Village and found this tidy-on-the-outside but messy-on-the-inside drop toilet by the fishing pier:
A little up from the pier was this beautiful & secluded old church next to a graveyard. Note the drop toilets at the back of the cemetery, next to the red shed:
How’s this for toilet tranquility! Much cleaner inside this one too.

Toad In The Hole
Posted: May 19, 2018 Filed under: Canadian Toilets, Dive Bars, Manitoba, Urinals Leave a commentI’d heard that Toad In The Hole was the must-see British / whisky bar in town and had some pretty filthy (but potentially interesting!) toilets so I couldn’t help but head to the Southside of the river for a beer.
It’s not often you see a corner trough like this. Troughs in general are few & far between in Canada but a trough with a corner is a true rarity.
And how about a high view of a Toad stall:
Manitoba Legislative Building
Posted: May 19, 2018 Filed under: Canadian Toilets, Manitoba, Urinals Leave a commentYou can’t miss the grand Manitoba Legislative Building along Winnipeg’s Broadway. Completed in 1920, its magnificent dome, rotunda and staircase are an impressive sight – as are the roomy and affluent washrooms in the building’s basement.
Pollies need their potties, I guess?
Around the other corner of the building I spied this smaller but equally as tidy mens room as well:
Toilets aside, here’s a few snaps of the outside & inside of this awesome old building:
The Good Will
Posted: May 19, 2018 Filed under: Canadian Toilets, Dive Bars, Graffiti, Manitoba Leave a commentI spent my May long weekend in Winnipeg, Manitoba! I had a great time there and I was very happy to be able to check another Canadian province off my travel bucket list.
Some kind locals gave me some suggestions via the Winnipeg subreddit for interesting restrooms to visit across the city and my first stop was the Good Will Social Club in the inner west. It was a huge open venue that sold some tasty craft brews, with about 8 loo stalls, all of which were plastered in posters, stickers and the occasional tag.

I’d been to other toilet-themed restaurants in the past like T-Bowl Concept Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur and Poop Cafe in Toronto, but Modern Toilet is the original – I’ve been wanting to see it for years and finally got the chance!
For even more photos & details on my Modern Toilet experience, check out the Toilography blogpost.
And be sure to follow Toilography on YouTube – more toilet films to come soon!
