A washroom trailer will officially open on Tuesday, August 27 at the site of the Central Urban Métis Federation (CUMFI) office at 315 Avenue M South. The trailer will be piloted until October 31 and will be open 24 hours a day. The Saskatoon Tribal Council (STC) Sawēyihtotān Program will staff the washroom trailer as well as support Commissionaires who will be staffing the Kiwanis Memorial Park (North) public washrooms. 

In May, City Council approved the purchase of a used washroom trailer to provide a staffed, all-day service for the Riversdale and Pleasant Hill neighbourhoods for residents in need of access to safe, clean public washrooms. Council also approved funding to provide staffing at a riverbank washroom location and for extra public access to drinking water.  

A total of $700,000 has been allocated to the project with the money coming from the Reserve for Capital Expenditures.
