The Western Development Museum’s vision of, “A Saskatchewan where everyone belongs and histories matter” has been enhanced with the completion of the construction of a new gender-neutral washroom at the W-D-M in Saskatoon.

Located on the main floor across from the Boomtown Cafe, the gender-neutral washroom at the W-D-M in Saskatoon came together with funding from the federal and provincial governments through the COVID-19 Resilience Stream. The barrier-free washroom is important to the W-D-M’s vision as gender-neutral washrooms allow the W-D-M to offer safe, on-site programming for the 2SLGBTQ+ community, in addition to wheelchair accessible washrooms, as gendered washrooms can often be a source of anxiety and stress for trans and gender nonconforming individuals.
