Public washrooms are possibly being added to the Riversdale and Pleasant Hill communities. Ssakatoon city council will discuss the matter on Wednesday
City administration noted that several community partners like Prairie Harm Reduction, Sanctum Care Group, The Salvation Army and Saskatchewan Health Authority were consulted on how best to approach the lack of public washroom availability.“Like many other communities in Canada , Saskatoon is being impacted by an increase in residents who are experiencing homelessness.
The rationale given by administration was that the demand for public washrooms was so high that a single location for washrooms would get overwhelmed. The total price tag of these recommended options is estimated at $777,400, with an additional $25,000 set aside for potential damages. Administration said $100,000 was already available for this project, but suggested the remaining funding come from the capital expenditures reserve.
