Opening bathrooms at Woodroffe HS


Opening bathrooms at Woodroffe HS
The Issue
We, as students, believe the current bathroom rules are inequitable and violate our human rights and safety. Even though they are open during break, this doesn't provide adequate time, given the number of students, the time allotted for bathroom use, and the travel time to class. Based on the Ontario Building Code, Div. B • A-3.7.5.3.(1) There must be “unrestricted access” to public washrooms for them to be considered public. Public washrooms need to be provided at a minimum of “at least one fixture for each 30 males and one fixture for each 26 females,” from table 3.7.4.3.1 of the code.
