On the agenda

As the city filed it

Residents are regularly encouraged to get some fresh air and explore the city's green spaces all year round, especially during the winter months. To accommodate this, Toronto has been providing additional winter maintenance on select pathways across the city and making washrooms in parks and recreation centres open to the public. These efforts provide residents with the opportunity for longer and more convenient walks.

I am requesting Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff to immediately open both washroom facilities at the Guild Park and Gardens so they can be accessed by the public all year round. The Guild Park and Gardens is regularly visited by large numbers of local residents and visitors from across Toronto. I want to ensure their visit is enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

Staff recommended

Councillor Paul Ainslie recommends that: 1. City Council direct the General Manager, Parks, Forestry and Recreation to immediately open both washroom facilities at the Guild Park and Gardens to the public.
