The Public Washroom Accessibility Grant is a part of the Citywide Public Washroom Strategy which aims to improve access to safer and cleaner washrooms for all Edmontonians and visitors.
In areas or districts where public washrooms are not easily accessible, the City recognizes that businesses and Business Improvement Areas (BIAs), as well as not-for-profit organizations, can play a significant role in improving access to washrooms for Edmontonians by opening their washrooms to non-paying patrons.
The Washroom Accessibility Grant is intended to support initiatives that improve washroom accessibility for Edmontonians and offset additional costs of providing and managing washrooms that are usable and accessible by the public.
