| Carlos, from Winnipeg's Own BEE-CLEAN, scrubs the TIFF Bell Lightbox washrooms, so YOU can practically EAT right off the porcelain!!! |
It's all due to Bee-Clean, Canada's visionary leader in building maintenance.
Day in, day out, I marvel at how clean this joint is. I walk into the johns and I feel like I could take one of those fine meals available at the LUMA restaurant on the second floor of TIFF, lay it out on the porcelain of ANY washroom fixture in the TIFF Bell Lightbox and wolf it down - happily, greedily and germ-free.
Why? Because everywhere I look I see Carlos, Martha and all the other maintenance professionals from Bee-Clean, bombing around the place like whirling dervishes and keeping it spic and span.

I remember Bee-Clean from Winnipeg, their headquarters just across the street from the historic La Salle Hotel and their lovely fleet of cleaning trucks with the distinctive Bees affixed to their logo - parked in front of EVERY class joint in the city. To see the little company from Winnipeg expanding well beyond its borders is very cool.

In the past few years, living in Toronto, I've been able to feel a bit of hometown pride (because I don't REALLY live in Toronto, I PAY RENT in Toronto and still consider Winnipeg my home, even though I don't live there in body). I get a thrill whenever I see the Bee-Clean logo in Toronto - Especially in the TIFF Bell Lightbox.
Here we are in TIFF's 40th year and on the eve of the grand opening I drank coffee, smoked ciggies and watched the place transform. And every few minutes I saw Carlos from Bee-Clean, making sure the front walkway by the red carpet was clean enough to eat off of. And then when I wandered about the Lightbox, everywhere I turned, I saw Carlos cleaning, cleaning, cleaning and RE-cleaning.
Just like a BUSY BEE.

| Wherever you see the BEE-CLEAN fleet, You KNOW the joint is going to be clean, just like TIFF Bell Lightbox!!! |
It's nice to see this bit of Winnipeg in a class joint like TIFF Bell Lightbox because I know, deep down, that no other company would handle this job as well.
