HRM has a total of 20 public washrooms, the majority of which are at bus terminals and city parks.

Public washrooms are always important, but especially so during COVID-19 when marginalized communities may have less access to retail store and coffee shop washrooms.

"At the basic level, everyone in our community deserves access to hand washing and washroom facilities," HRM public safety advisor Amy Siciliano told Coast writer Lezlie Lowe.

Here's a comprehensive list of all the public (read: free) washrooms available for use in HRM:

Albro Lake, 1 Sea King Drive
Birch Cove Park, 44 Oakdale
Crescent Chocolate Lake, 3 Melwood Avenue
Cole Harbour Commons, 460 Auburn Drive
Dartmouth Bridge Terminal, 24 Nantucket Avenue
Dartmouth Ferry Terminal, 88 Alderney Drive
Dewolfe Park, 150 Waterfront Drive
Fairview Cemetery, 3720 Windsor Street
Halifax Common, 5816 Cunard Street
Halifax Ferry Terminal, 5077 George Street
Kiwanis Grahams Grove Park, 45 Grahams Grove
