Description

March Ottawa The managers of the Hudson's Bay Company store on Rideau Street removed hidden, closed-circuit television cameras that had been installed in a fourth-floor men's washroom. The cameras had been placed there in an attempt to end sexual activity that had been occurring in the washroom; several men had been arrested there earlier in the year. Representatives of GO met with Bay officials after learning of the cameras and suggested alternative methods to halt the activities, including doing major renovations to the washroom, posting warning signs, and publicity. These suggestions were implemented and were successful in halting the activities in the washroom.
