A wooden screen is now complete midway along the beach on Ocean Boulevard to house two portable washrooms. It will prevent tipping of the facilities by wind or mischief and reduce the unsightliness of the facilities inside.

A bottle bin will also be placed inside to encourage recycling and generate revenue for local elementary school parent advisory committees.

Extra care was taken to construct the semi-permanent screen on concrete blocks with no digging or disruption of the natural environment.

Colwood Council approved this initiative at their meeting on July 8, 2019. Read more in the staff report presented to Council.
