New sanitation facilities have been installed in Montreal to help the West Island homeless population amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Chemical toilets equipped with sinks and soap are now open to the public in Pierrefonds-Roxboro. The portable toilets are situated near the Gerry-Robertson Community Centre in front of the Sunnybrooke train station.
A second restroom has also been installed near the adjacent D’À-Ma-Baie park. According to Action Jeunesse de l’Ouest de l’Île (AJOI), a local outreach group, lavatories will be installed in certain boroughs and cities throughout the West Island territory to provide proper hygiene for the city’s most vulnerable.
