The District of Tofino is constructing a new public washroom near the Wickaninnish Community School sports fields to support growing community use in the Fourth Street and Gibson Street area.

The project includes a single-stall, fully accessible, gender-inclusive public washroom adjacent to the southernmost ball field at Wickaninnish Community School. The facility will also include a storage room for recreation equipment, a water fountain, and a water bottle fill station.

The new washroom will support recreation programming, community events, field users, residents, students, and visitors.

Construction is expected to begin on June 15, 2026, with substantial completion anticipated by August 2026.

Construction is expected to have minimal impacts on the surrounding area, and the Wickaninnish Community School sports fields will remain open for use. For public safety, the project site will be fully enclosed with construction fencing for the duration of the work. The District asks the public to follow any posted signage while work is underway.

The Fourth Street Public Washroom Project is fully funded through the District’s participation in the Province of British Columbia’s Resort Municipality Initiative program.
