It looks like you have several interesting hiking trails in Canada and with the exception of ones that go through camp grounds, National or commercial, I don't think they have laundry facilities on the trails or in the more rustic camp sites. But you live there you might know better.
I lived next to a national forest for more than 11 years and have hiked on several trails between Mammoth and Mexico. Today they all take a permit for overnight and most are checked. You cannot camp within 200 feet of streams or rivers. Most have designated camping sites. Are yours different? I hardly overnight anymore however unless it is out with friends in the desert.

The last three hikes I did were San G. , Mount Baldy and San Jacinto. I now only do day hikes on San Jacinto. It requires a permit for a day hike. None of them have washing machines or showers. So I believe the bloggers are correct, go to the trail head, go into the town and shower and do laundry. It isn't something I would need to make up to anger someone that hasn't tried a trail yet.
