The washroom situation.

Washroom status: Washrooms in the Land Science Centre; outhouses by the Wetlands

The college's Botanic Gardens visitor guide, a map brochure marked updated November 2022, says washrooms are in the Land Science Centre and that two outhouses are on the road by the Heritage Barn at the south entrance to the Wetlands. The wedding page, garden booking page and wedding brochure do not say which of these washrooms wedding guests use or how many toilets there are.

If you bring a trailer.

Whether a trailer makes sense depends on what the venue already has, your guest count, and where your guests will spend the evening. Find out what is on site first, then weigh it against the guidance below.

A good starting point is about one stall per 50 guests for a four to six hour event. Run your numbers through the wedding washroom calculator, read how many washrooms a wedding needs, and walk the site with the acreage wedding washroom checklist.

Quoted for your date and venue. The quote depends on the number of days, whether there is water on site, and the distance from Calgary. Delivery and other charges may apply.

Our executive two-stall washroom trailer in gloss black, with two full-height doors, fold-out steps, and an aluminum frame
  • Our two-stall executive luxury trailer has 2 private flushing rooms with warm running water
  • It carries its own fresh water and waste tanks, so no plumbing hookup is needed
  • By the one stall per 50 guests rule, its two rooms suit about 100 guests. For more, talk to us about the plan
  • It needs a level spot a truck can back into, power within reach or a generator, and water from a hose tap or brought in
  • Water on site, such as a hose tap, lets us fill the fresh tank. No water at the venue? We bring it in for an added fee.

We deliver, level, set up, and pick up the trailer ourselves. Ask Olds College Botanic Gardens and Constructed Wetlands whether an outside washroom trailer is allowed and, if so, where it can park.
