While Vancouver is well outfitted with public washrooms distributed in parks throughout our city, the situation changes drastically when you consider hours and accessibility. Most park washrooms are only open dusk to dawn. Human biology isn’t quite as scheduled. 3/6

Forgotten but not gone: COVID rates in Canada have been low & declining for several months. However, the Omicron subvariant NB.1.1.8 has been more prevalent in SE Asia & it's likely we'll see more of that here in the near future. (Red = 2022-23; Yellow = 2023-24; Blue = 2024-25)
