The Access to Public Washrooms in Guelph Project, a collaboration between the City of Guelph, the Department of Geography, Environment and Geomatics (U of G), and the Guelph Lab, is working to identify ways to improve access to public washrooms in the City of Guelph. The now-published Maps Report showcases what type of washrooms are available and when washrooms are available at different times of year, different times of day, and different days of the week.
Already in its next phase, researchers from this project are interviewing people in Guelph about their experiences using public washrooms (and what happens when they can't access a public washroom). Together, insights from these interviews and the data from the maps will inform recommendations to City staff and Council about how to improve access to public washrooms in Guelph.
