Looking for a toilet in Canada rarely costs anything: 100 per cent of the 927 listed toilets are free. Only 4 charge. That is the comfortable case — you can set off without hunting for coins.

The 927 toilets in Canada are spread across 6 cities. Toronto leads with 281, followed by Vancouver with 231. That is a more even spread than in many other countries.

Step-free access and changing tables

31 per cent of entries in Canada are recorded as step-free. A baby changing table is noted on 92 entries (10 per cent); with small children it is worth checking the features before you set off.

Where these numbers come from

Most entries for Canada come from OpenStreetMap, the open map volunteers have been building since 2004. On top of that sit places users added in the app themselves, with ratings and photos. The two sources are kept apart so a mistake in one never overwrites the other. An entry reported as gone is hidden rather than deleted — so it can come back if the toilet reopens.
