Two City Councillors are calling for more information on increasing access to public washrooms in Downtown Prince George.
There is a Notice of Motion on the topic on the agenda for Monday’s meeting from Councillors Tim Bennett and Trudy Klassen.
“Access to public washrooms is incredibly important when it comes to inclusion, accessibility and ensuring a strong, healthy and welcoming community,” the Notice of Motion reads.
“Access to public washroom space is not only to support those currently un or underhoused but also to support families with young children, individuals with either visible or invisible medical conditions and those who drink too many coffees on their trip to the Farmer’s Market.”
The motion attached would have a report for Council by the third quarter of next year that would highlight what public washroom access is currently available, build a question or option in appropriate future surveys to determine need and demand, and explore grant opportunities to expand safe public washroom access.
This motion will be discussed at the December 2nd Council meeting.
