City of Owen Sound River District – Public Washroom Survey

Your input is essential in helping us understand: 
- Whether there is a need or desire for a standalone public washroom 
- What type of facility would be most appropriate, and design/location considerations
- What hours of operation would best serve the community 
- What benefits or concerns do you foresee 
- Whether existing businesses already provide washroom access 

This engagement is around the potential of adding additional standalone public washroom(s) in the River District. To view existing public washrooms in the River District, click here (scroll to bottom of Warming Centres page).

👉 A standalone public washroom in the River District means a washroom building that isn’t inside another facility (like a restaurant, store, or library). It’s a dedicated, city-provided washroom space that anyone can access when visiting the River District. 

At the end of the survey, if you support a standalone washroom concept, there is the opportunity to click through to select an ideal location on a map.  The map will open in a new tab, so don't forget to hit 'Submit' to complete your survey in the first open window.
