Public Facilities

Cleaning for Public Buildings in Northern Ontario

Arenas, community centres, libraries, transit facilities and municipal offices. We have been cleaning Northern Ontario buildings since 1952, and we work the way public budgets and public procurement require.

Everyone who walks through your building is an owner of it

A public facility does not get graded by a customer. It gets graded by residents, and every one of them helps pay for it. A slush covered arena lobby on a Saturday morning is seen by a few hundred people before ten o'clock, and one of them will bring it up at the next council or committee meeting.

Public buildings also run on schedules nobody fully controls. Ice rentals, program bookings, council nights, polling days, transit shifts, hall rentals. The cleaning has to happen around all of it, in the hours the building is not in use, without a manager standing there to watch the work get done.

Most facility managers we speak with are not looking for a different scope of work. They are looking for a contractor who delivers the same scope the same way every week, and can show it in writing when someone asks.

What a thin cleaning contract costs you later

It becomes a public conversation

A complaint about a washroom or an entrance does not stay between you and your contractor. It arrives as an email to a councillor, a comment at a meeting, or a photo posted by a facility user. You then spend management time defending an operating line instead of working on your capital plan.

It is hard to defend the award

Taking the lowest number and re-tendering eighteen months later costs more than the gap between the bids. You pay for the re-tender, the transition, the retraining on your building, and the service dip in between. That is the number that is difficult to explain after the fact.

The floor is a capital asset

Salt and grit left on hard floors through a Northern winter grinds finish off terrazzo, vinyl tile and rubber. A floor that is maintained stays an operating cost. A floor that is not maintained turns into a replacement, and replacement comes out of capital.

Wet floors carry risk

Entrances, vestibules and traffic paths are wet for months here. Slip and fall claims against a municipality get investigated on the record, and the first question is what the cleaning schedule was and who was on it.

Built to answer procurement, not just to clean

Public sector work gets bought differently than private sector work, and we are set up for it.

If your purchasing department needs a specific format or a specific document with the submission, tell us in the walkthrough and we will build it into the response.

  • Scope written by area with a stated frequency for each area, so evaluators can compare like for like
  • Pricing itemized the way the tender document asks for it, including optional and seasonal items priced separately
  • Health and safety information for your submission review. We were named a 2025 Canada's Safest Employer
  • Ownership facts your policy may weigh: family owned, 100% Canadian owned, in business since 1952
  • Three Northern Ontario branches: Sudbury, Sault Ste Marie and Timmins

How we clean a public building

We treat the entrance as the whole job in winter

Matting maintained, melt water taken off the floor, salt and grit lifted before it travels to the rest of the building. Everything past the doors gets easier when the first twenty feet is handled properly.

We match washroom frequency to actual traffic

A public washroom beside an arena pad on a tournament weekend does not carry the same load as one in a municipal office. The schedule should reflect that, and ours does.

We work around bookings

Community halls between rentals, dressing rooms between ice times, program rooms before the next group. We build the schedule from your booking calendar rather than a fixed template.

We put hard floor work in the quiet season

Scrub, seal and refinish scheduled when the building has room for it, so the finish is renewed on a cycle instead of failing.

We handle the parts most contractors send out

Hood and vent cleaning for arena canteens and community hall kitchens. Window cleaning inside and out, including the drone service for high glass on arenas and community centres. We were the first drone window cleaning service in Northern Ontario.

Tell us about the building

Send us the building and the hours it is in use, and we will walk it with you. You will get a written scope by area with frequencies, priced the way you need it presented.

  • A walkthrough at your building, not a price off a spreadsheet
  • A written estimate you can take to ownership or your board
  • One point of contact from Sudbury, Sault Ste Marie or Timmins
