Bathroom facilities are scarce for the masses of protestors in Ottawa..“We have worked repeatedly with law enforcement agencies to try to bring humane conditions to the people who are peacefully demonstrating, washroom facilities, maintenance of those washroom facilities,”.said Jeff in a.broadcast.update with convoy organizers..“We have yet to get a solidified response to bring those deserved conditions to this peaceful demonstration.”.Mississauga citizen, Gregory Zajac, joined the demonstration in Ottawa on Saturday..“It was massive. You could walk for hours and there would be more places to see truckers and protesters,” Zajac told the Western Standard..“Only complaints would be the constant loud honking and the lack of bathrooms/porta-potties..“I saw maybe a total of 8 porta potties for probably over 100,000 people when I was there.”.Canadian government health and safety recommendations say events need to have 80 bathrooms for events of 5,000 people..Ottawa police are seizing supplies where possible to discourage the demonstration from continuing, but there have not been reports of police blocking washroom facilities..When asked about aggressive acts and hate at the protest, Zajac said he didn’t see anything of the nature..“Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The most aggressive thing was the flags and signs that said ‘f— Trudeau’.”.“It was a great experience and really cool to see people of all races come together to fight for what they believe in..“I was really surprised to see the large amount of pride flags and flags of different nations. I think this is something everyone should experience.”.The City of Ottawa did not get back to the Western Standard in time for publishing..Ewa Sudyk is a reporter with the Western Standard.,.esudyk@westernstandardonline.com
