Everyone has the right to a dignified washroom experience, regardless of age, gender, or need.

"We hope that by having all of these hygiene measures in place, including sanitary waste bins in all toilet cubicles, as well as VIRUSKILLERTM units located in key indoor areas, it will provide confidence to staff, players and fans, and set the standard for both hygiene and washroom dignity. ”
