Better late than never! The City of Winnipeg has added a new pilot project offering FREE menstrual products at a variety of city run facilities in the new year. The pilot project will last throughout the year and is expected to cost roughly $58,000. They hope to include brand partners in the future to help fund the program.
“Providing menstrual products privately, consistently, and free of charge in public facilities will help alleviate this biological function from negatively affecting life’s daily activities,” A report on the matter read.
At this time, the confirmed location of menstrual product dispensaries include: the Millennium Library, Fort Rouge Leisure Centre, Seven Oaks Pool, Freight House/Central CC, Elmwood Kildonans Pool, Turtle Island Neighbourhood Centre, Margaret Grant Pool and the Westdale Community Centre.
