A new public washroom facility that’s open all year has been introduced in the heart of Forest, made possible by a $122,900 capital grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF).
Lambton-Kent-Middlesex MPP Steve Pinsonneault recently celebrated with representatives from the Municipality of Lambton Shores during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Rotary Civic Square Park.
“Ontario Trillium Foundation funding is helping communities invest in projects that make a real difference in people’s everyday lives,” said Pinsonneault. “This new four-season public washroom is a valuable addition to downtown Forest, providing a convenient, accessible amenity for residents while supporting local events, businesses, and the vitality of the downtown core.”
The washrooms are situated next to the downtown parkette and close to the splash pad.
Lambton Shores Mayor Doug Cook mentioned that this facility is part of a larger plan to revitalize the downtown area.
“There has been a lot of momentum in downtown Forest over the last few years, and projects like this are a direct result of working alongside community stakeholders to strengthen our downtown,” Cook said.
“With direct access from the Downtown Forest Parkette, the new washroom provides a convenient amenity for residents and visitors while supporting community events, local businesses, and families using the nearby splash pad,” Cook added.
