According to Denise Corry, the Town of Huntsville CAO, both stalls of the River Mill Park washroom were closed over the weekend due to vandalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corry could not say when the washrooms were expected to reopen or what the damage was, but she lamented such actions, noting that the municipality has had similar issues with vandalism to the washrooms at Town Hall (Club 55), at the previous Coldwell Banker location, and the Tom Thomson bronze by the late artist Brenda Wainman-Goulet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We had constant vandalism. Like people would dump macaroni in the toilet and plug it up, and we just had constant issues,” said a frustrated Corry. “You know, sadly, we have people in our community that continually destroy infrastructure, costing our taxpayer money.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said Tom Thomson’s pipe has been ripped out repeatedly and the municipality has replaced it multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of the latest incident to the River Mill Park washrooms, Corry said: “All I know is that they were vandalized to the point that they couldn’t be operational over the weekend. I don’t know if that was a result of parts or if they had to get a special contractor to come in. I don’t know those details,” she said, adding that staff did indicate that the washrooms had been vandalized to the point that they were not operational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corry said the Town is working with the OPP to identify the individual\/s responsible. Council has also approved cameras for the park, expected to be purchased and installed sometime next year. The washroom facility was donated by a community member and comes with cameras but Corry said the municipality would be installing its own that can be integrated with the camera system at the Canada Summit Centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Obviously, it’s going to take some time to get them ordered\/installed. We have to get the system up where we can monitor, and our hope will be that because it will continue to occur, sadly, our hope is at least we can identify who it is and the OPP can take the appropriate action,” said Corry. “It just always feels a little disheartening because it was such a great thing in our community. It was donated… it didn’t cost the taxpayer any money, and now it’s costing the taxpayer money… we all are very proud of this community, and it’s sad that people continue to do that.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said the municipality would put every effort forward to identify who is vandalizing public infrastructure. “We are constantly checking on that location, and our staff are very committed, and they feel again very deflated when it’s closed because they know it’s a reflection on the Town but can only do what we can do…,” said Corry who asked that if anyone witnesses anything suspicious to please contact the OPP or the municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, people are being directed to the portable washrooms behind the stage in River Mill Park.<\/p>\n\n\n
