A new public washroom facility, open year-round, has been established 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 participated in a ribbon cutting ceremony with representatives from the Municipality of Lambton Shores 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 conveniently located next to the downtown parkette and nearby splash pad.
Lambton Shores Mayor Doug Cook noted that this facility is part of a larger effort to enhance and 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.
