Trustees with School District No. 40 in New Westminster, B.C., voted unanimously Tuesday to supply feminine hygiene products in all girls’ and universal washrooms in its elementary and high schools starting in September.
While tampons and pads are sometimes available in other public washrooms, schools have been slower to bring them in. The largest school board in London, Ont., started placing them in high school washroomsCredit for the decision in New Westminster is being given to Selina Tribe, who started lobbying various B.C. school boards to provide the products for free after discovering that her daughter’s school did not offer tampons.
