This fall, LaSalle College Montréal is thrilled to provide free feminine hygiene products in all its women's washrooms, as well as in gender-neutral ones. Distributors for tampons and sanitary pads have been installed to provide easy, discrete, and free access.
A pioneer in Quebec
LaSalle College is pleased to be one of the first educational institutions in Québec to announce this kind of initiative. Menstrual hygiene expenses can represent up to 5% of a woman's budget and the College considers that it is essential to make a difference in favour of gender equality.
“In 2022, this initiative is more than necessary! In Québec, we are among the first educational institutions to offer these products free of charge to anyone in need, and we hope to inspire others to do the same! Being a father of two little girls, I am very proud to be able to take concrete action to improve the conditions of women,” says Émile Trottier-Dufour, Leisure Technician at the College and instigator of the project.
