The Peel District School Board says by the end of the upcoming school year, every single public high school in the region will have a gender-neutral washroom.
The announcement was made by school board officials on Wednesday morning.
Brian Woodland, the director of communications for the Peel board, said the first school to implement a gender-neutral washroom was Jean Augustine Secondary School in Brampton.
There are currently 32 high schools within the Peel District School Board.
The move, Woodland added, is to ensure that the washrooms offer a place of safety for any student that needs it.
He added that the board is also going to begin discussing whether these washrooms should be provided at middle schools.
