Civic hacknight #324 VIRTUAL - GottaGoTO: Accessing Toronto Washrooms

• Topic:
  With the change in seasons and the subsequent closures of Spring/Summer washrooms in parks, many Torontonians find themselves wondering, "Where do you go when you gotta go?" In response, GottaGoTO was launched in October 2021. A washroom mapping initiative led by Derek Pokora in collaboration with the Toronto Public Space Committee and TOToiletCodes, our goal is to connect Torontonians with, and advocate for, a robust network of all-season and accessible public washrooms.
