The $320,000 project is intended to enhance public amenities in a high-traffic waterfront area used by residents, boaters, and visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the municipality, the new facility is designed to support year-round use while improving the overall experience of the waterfront and downtown core. As stated in a municipal media release:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis facility aims to provide essential amenities for residents and visitors alike, enhancing the overall experience of our beautiful waterfront and downtown area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The washroom will feature advanced automated cleaning cycles and vandal-resistant materials to ensure cleanliness, safety, and ease of maintenance. Installation will be carried out by Urben Blu, a North American leader in smart, self-cleaning public restrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Callander Mayor Robb Noon emphasized the importance of the project for both residents and tourism:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis new washroom facility is a significant step forward in improving our public amenities. It will not only serve our residents but also enhance the experience for tourists enjoying our waterfront. We are committed to providing clean and accessible facilities that reflect the values of our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open year-round, the facility is part of a broader initiative to make Callander\u2019s public spaces more welcoming, functional, and user-friendly for families and outdoor enthusiasts in all seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source<\/strong>: <em>North Bay Nugget<\/em> \u2014 Jennifer Hamilton-McCharles \u2014 November 21, 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-degrade-bleu-fonce\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nugget.ca\/news\/fully-automated-public-washroom-installed-near-boat-docks-in-callander\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See the entire article<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.urbenblu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Callander-Front_porteOuverte-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.urbenblu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Callander-Front_porteOuverte-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.urbenblu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Callander-Front_porteOuverte-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/staging.urbenblu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Callander-Front_porteOuverte-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/staging.urbenblu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Callander-Front_porteOuverte.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3039,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-realisations"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3055","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3055"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/staging.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3055\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3092,"href":"https:\/\/staging.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3055\/revisions\/3092"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3055"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3055"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.urbenblu.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3055"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
