Questions

Where can I find a public toilet in Ottawa?
Open the map above and it centres on Ottawa with all 150 mapped toilets on it. Tap any marker for its exact position, opening hours when known, and walking directions. Allow location access and the map follows you instead, which is the faster route when you are already out.
Are public toilets in Ottawa free?
It varies by city and by individual toilet. Where OpenStreetMap records a fee, the point is labelled with it. Station and shopping centre toilets are the ones most likely to charge; municipal street toilets and park toilets are usually free.
Are there wheelchair accessible toilets in Ottawa?
Yes. Points tagged as step free in OpenStreetMap show their accessibility in the detail panel. Coverage of this tag is uneven, so an unlabelled toilet is not necessarily inaccessible, it may simply be unsurveyed.
Why do some toilets show no opening hours?
Opening hours are an optional tag in OpenStreetMap and many contributors map the location without them. A missing value means nobody has surveyed it, not that the toilet is open around the clock.
Where does this public toilets data come from?
From OpenStreetMap, a map built by volunteer surveyors and maintained continuously. It is the best available source for small fixtures like this one, because they are the things commercial map providers do not bother collecting.
Something is missing or wrong. Can I fix it?
Yes, and it is the fastest way to get it corrected. Edit the point on openstreetmap.org and the change flows through to this page on the next refresh. There is no separate database here to correct.
Is the list of public toilets in Ottawa complete?
It is as complete as the local survey effort. Densely mapped cities are close to exhaustive; elsewhere expect gaps. The map is always the fuller view, since the list on this page only names the points that have a name.
