The Asset Management Unit of the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke announcing that the bathroom building at the Splashpad at Orville Park will be closed until further notice. According to the MCK, the building has been repeatedly damaged by vandals over the winter period, with the latest incident occurring last evening when the bathroom was flooded when the the sink faucet was left running with a plastic bag stuffed in the sink drain. A fire was also started in the toilet bowl. Kyle Zachary is the public relations officer with the Kahnawà:ke Peacekeepers:

“The part where the old K1037 building used to be, there’s the lacrosse rink there, a basketball court and the splashpad, the Orville Standup Memorial Park. There’s a structure that houses a few bathrooms for the public to use and there was some damage, some mischief occurred to it, we were alerted to it this morning around 9:30. Officers went to the scene, documented the damage, that’s really all we can do at this moment unless we have – we don’t have any suspects – unless somebody comes forward and informs us that they saw something or they admit to it.”

Previously, the building was closed when vandals kicked holes through the two with the door handles busted. The building’s external video surveillance system is currently being reviewed. Once repairs have been effected, a reopening date will be determined. You are encouraged to report vandalism by contacting the Kahnawà:ke Peacekeepers at 450-632-6505.
