Victoria city council is moving forward with a plan to upgrade all public washrooms in its parks.
It's a project that will cost $14 million and will see 18 bathrooms modernized and made more accessible, according to the city.
"We have a lot of work to do to improve our accessibility in our parks and recreation around the city, and this is just one piece of that," said Victoria coun. Matt Dell."They're looking at doing the basic minimum under the building code," said disability advocate Dave Willows.Nick wears diapers and needs adult changing tables – and ideally a ceiling hoist – in washrooms.
The plan says that equipment could be dangerous if it's unsupervised and can become targets for vandals.
