The pandemic has highlighted the connection between individual health and community health, Wins Bridgman said. Beyond providing a place for people to use the bathroom and wash their hands, Bridgman said the permanent bathroom will offer a safe, clean place for people to take care of themselves, in connection with the community and community organizations. "This is more than a washroom," he said. "This is a way of reaching out to everyone and saying, you belong here, and your health and everyone else's health are connected together."
