If you plan to visit the historic Fort La Tour site this winter, you need to prepare before you go. The City of Saint John closed the public washroom facilities at the popular waterfront destination for the season.

According to a recent notice from the city, the washrooms will remain locked throughout the colder months. They will reopen in the spring when warmer weather returns and foot traffic increases at the site.

City officials thank residents and visitors for their understanding. Fort La Tour remains an open outdoor space for winter walks and sightseeing along the Harbour Passage, but you will need to find alternative restroom options nearby.
