The Guelph Lab, a collaborative partnership between the City of Guelph and the University of Guelph is currently undertaking a study that explores public washrooms in Guelph - where they're located, and when they're open.
This project was inspired by a general public desire for additional public washrooms, and is part of an ongoing conversation around accessibility, dignity, and equity in the City of Guelph. Municipally-run washrooms are open to the public, as compared to washrooms that may be available to customers only at local businesses.

A vast amount of knowledge is created everyday, but is it used effectively? In most cases, only a small fraction of gained knowledge is mobilized to inform real-life situations and help create evidence-informed change. The lack of effective knowledge transfer contributes to a gap between research, policy and practice.
