Tay Township celebrates grand opening of new washroom facility at Albert Street Park

Tay, Ontario: Today, Tay Township held a grand opening of a new washroom facility at Albert Street Park in Victoria Harbour. Mayor Ted Walker and members of Council attended the ribbon cutting ceremony.

Lloyd Hunt (Lloyd Hunt Architect), Councillor Jeff Bumstead, Mayor Ted Walker, Councillor Mary Warnock, Robert Lamb (Chief Administrative Officer), and Bryan Anderson (Manager of Parks, Recreation and Facilities) cut a ribbon to celebrate the grand opening of a new washroom facility at Albert Street Park.

The new accessible, two-stall washroom facility also features a water bottle filling station. Lloyd Hunt Architect and Linx Contracting designed and constructed the facility.

Councillor Jeff Bumstead, Mayor Ted Walker and Councillor Mary Warnock use the new water bottle filling station at Albert Street Park.

In addition to the new public washrooms and water bottle filling station, Albert Street Park features a public beach, multi-use trail, picnic tables, and a gazebo. The gazebo was recently featured by simcoe.com as one of five places to have a picnic in the region. “Located right on the waterfront of Victoria Harbour, this quaint gazebo is the perfect spot to take a break while biking the Tay Shore Trail. If you forget to pack something in your picnic bag, there is a Foodland conveniently located right next door,” writes Ariel Harker. Patterson Park and Waubaushene Dock are also listed as top spots to have a picnic.

The new facility at Albert Street Park will allow park, boat launch, and Tay Shore Trail users to take a washroom break or fill their water bottle. The amenities are also available to residents and visitors who attend nearby events, including Music in the Park, Southern Georgian Bay Farmers Markets’ Harbour Market, and Battle of Georgian Bay—all happening this month.
