The City of Calgary has unveiled plans to have an attendant in place at two downtown washrooms in an effort to make them safer for users.
The attendants will keep the bathrooms clean, clear up litterand report any incidents that may occur to the appropriate officials.
Attendants will also have information about community resources on hand to share with the public as needed.
They'll be in place at both the public washrooms in Olympic Plaza and Century Gardens daily between 10 a.m. and 9 p.m., except during ticketed events like festivals, as part of a pilot project starting May 8 and running through until mid-October.
Mayor Jyoti Gondek says the hope is the pilot will help improve safety in public spaces.
"I'm excited for this pilot project to take shape as these washrooms will be more accessible, clean, and safe for everyone," she said in a news release.
