The City of Delta has launched a one-year pilot project to provide free menstrual supplies in 15 facilities across the city.
Pads and tampons are now available at washrooms of the city’s public facilities and they will be replenished in the same way toilet paper and paper towel are in washrooms.
The city says the program aims to increase access to free menstrual products and reduce the stigma around period poverty.
The program was introduced to the diversity, inclusion and anti-racism Committee in September and city council unanimously endorsed the project on October 23rd.
