BC district to provide free tampons in men’s washrooms
The District of Saanich has announced that it will offer free menstrual products at all public washrooms, including men’s rooms, by the end of the month.
Councillors who supported the initiative claim it will benefit “people who menstruate” and those who cannot afford such products.
The district has 281 public bathrooms, including women’s, men’s and gender-neutral facilities, where menstrual product dispensers will be installed.
The move follows an earlier decision to make the products available at Saanich Municipal Hall.
According to estimates, the initial cost of the project will be around $20,000.
