The Town of Plympton-Wyoming is celebrating the opening of a brand new state of the art washroom facility near the baseball diamond at Canton Park.
It was made possible through a $150,000 capital grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF).
The building is fully accessible so that everyone is able to enjoy community events, recreational activities, and family gatherings.
Mayor Gary Atkinson said the washroom is compliant with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).
He said the project promotes inclusivity, accessibility, and a more welcoming public space for everyone.
"The old facility was past its due date," said Atkinson. "We're quite fortunate to have applied for this grant and to have been successful. We're thankful the Ontario government and Ontario Trillium Foundation were able to support us on that."
Sarnia Lambton MPP Bob Bailey commented on the facility in a news release.
"I’m extremely pleased that the Town of Plympton-Wyoming was selected to receive this important grant from the Ontario government’s Ontario Trillium Foundation,” said Bailey. "Canton Park is a cherished community gathering place; the new accessible washroom is an important improvement and will benefit visitors to the park for years to come."
In 2025-26, OTF invested nearly $107 million into 746 community projects across the province.
They're aimed at enhancing economic well-being, fostering more active lifestyles, supporting child and youth development, providing spaces for people to come together and connect, and creating a more sustainable environment.
