The Capital District Health Authority has added transgender signs to its single-use bathrooms.

The signs are up at the Mumford Professional Centre and the Dalhousie Medical Clinic and could soon be seen at the IWK.

Deidre Taylor, a spokesperson for Capital Health, said the decision happened after a community consultation back in April found there was a need to represent transgendered people in its facilities.
