26I would love more down town public washrooms. Unfortunately, we all know they will not be respected, they will be abused and ruined and will ultimately just be a money pit for taxpayers. So thats a big no for me, on public spending down town. At least until we can deal with the massive problem consuming our doen town

24The homeless have so many mental health issues that despite normal washroom availability they will still continue to use the streets, sidewalks, entrances, and alleys as their preferred defecation destination.As for the law-abiding public such as myself, I would sooner walk through the radioactive sarcophagus shielding the destroyed Chernobyl nuclear reactor than visit a PG public washroom.

18I am surprised they don’t have to tear the entire building down and rebuild it.How could updating the heating and AC possibly cost nearly three million?

8Spending billions only to make just enough “housing” to qualify for some photo ops and news headlines… meanwhile they’ve had a big hand in doubling housing prices here…

No skate, no problem: Iceman is still a winter classic
Why in this day and age is it still called the Iceman and not a more appropriate gender neutral pronoun.

2Everybody p o o p sAs a citizen of PG I have found myself in need of "the facilities" a time or two while trying to enjoy a walk in the park or simply getting around town on the bus system Having the park washrooms closed from October to May means that anyone who cannot hold back the call of nature is put in the awkward position of soiling themselves or using nature's toilet Think of the kids who might be using the park and are of potty training age, yet have no where to use the bathroom....you want to pack them up in the car and have them have an accident in the car seat? Wich by the way are a pain to wash and also a couple hundred bucks to replace?Everyone wants to be so negative and assume if we get something nice it will be ruined, but good grief public washrooms and indoor plumbing have helped humanity move towards cleaner and more sanitary living conditions the world over

1Washrooms are a good plan. Considering maximum security penitentiaries have the same sort of “bomb proof” facilities surely the city can provide roughly the same sort of thing. Suspect the biggest headache would be dealing with contractor deficiencies toward the end of construction. Often find when it comes to smaller construction projects, it’s better if municipalities do the work themselves rather than contractors who often are a pain to deal with. Of course, nothing is 100% perfect & that’s when the whiners from the sidelines will have their over the top comments.

5Who is the washroom for, the general public or the homeless? I just don’t think it can satisfy both.

5public washrooms, nice idea, may well be okay, except, they would have to be manned the full time they are open.... and that is another cost not considered.

3There are already plenty of tax dodging churches in Prince George with barely used washrooms that could open their doors to the homeless. Don't need public fundedwashrooms.

1Why are you so eager to remove the rights of other people? Don't you think that is one of the biggest problems in the world right now? If we start removing other peoples rights, do you not think that that leaves your rights unprotected? Take a real hard look at how corporations are attacking everyone's rights these days, before you try to make it even easier for them.

2It’s too bad to keep having issues with the weather. With the time and effort these people put in to get ready for this event. It’d be nice if the weather showed up once in a while.Congrats to all who participated and well done to the winners

2Is the museum climate controlled? It's too bad that the lease-in, lease-out agreement wasn't held and invested for needs like this. Imagine an eternal fund that could have used the interest only income to cover one-time expenses of various organizations here. In the big scheme of things $40,000 isn't an impossible amount, surely there are fundraisers that could cover this. Get creative!

1If UNDRIP was around since 1950, we’d all be living in government issued shoe box housing by now, with very little private property left. Well, those who hadn’t starved to death would be living in them. Bugs would be a part of our regular diets and we would have to file an application to leave our community. That’s all coming (and more) if we don’t stop this insanity…
