Vancouver is now officially the first Canadian city to adopt an inclusive transgender policy.
City council voted unanimously Wednesday night to support the equality, diversity and inclusion of transgender people by implementing a series of recommendations made by a consulting group that specializes in trans issues.
The new plan includes gender-neutral bathrooms and sensitivity training for staff.
Council will also appoint a team that will oversee the plan, and report back annually on the progress. Changes will start over the next six to 18 months.
