Giant swaths of beach that’s unusable to anyone that can’t ‘hold it’ or is unwilling to pee in the water.
The town of Qualicum Beach wants to be a tourist destination, but keeps missing the boat.
A family or a senior can’t be expected to pack up and drive to a bathroom.

It should be at the Brant lookout or the Shady Rest beach from March to October every year. And a porta potty (behind a nice wooden screen) should be at the other.
What’s the point of five-plus picnic tables on a nice grassy patch, if anyone picnicking there has to leave to pee?
The town had millions to buy that new beach park. How about they throw a few thousand into toilets because rich or poor, young or old, everyone needs to pee, and many can’t walk 20 minutes to a bathroom.
This shouldn’t even need to be said. It’s a major oversight. One set of toilets for an entire beachfront bay is embarrassing.
