Coun. Wendy Morin wants city council to urge Island Health to pay for 24-hour toilet facilities downtown, as the number of people without homes grows sharply

A Courtenay councillor concerned about a rise in public defecation and urination wants the city to urge Island Health to pay for 24-hour toilet facilities downtown.

Public defecation and urination poses potential health risks to humans and animals and could affect the environment, Morin said. No access to a toilet overnight means “people are relieving themselves, kind of wherever they can get shelter on a rainy day,” Wells said. Some businesses and residents are forced to deal with the results.
