What is the City doing to add more washrooms?
As a part of the Downtown Livability Strategy, the City will install and maintain a 24/7 free-standing, pre-fabricated permanent toilet. The City is still looking for a location for the toilet in question.
The City is working with BC Housing to develop additional emergency shelter capacity and new supportive housing with access to washrooms for those who are unsheltered.
The City is also looking at other strategies to support access to public washrooms and is conducting research into what other jurisdictions are doing. More information will be coming about these possible strategies in the future.
