CALGARY --
A Calgary councillor wants the city to explore the idea of allowing people to drink alcohol in city parks this summer.
Ward 9 Coun., Gian-Carlo Carra is proposing the idea as part of the city's COVID-19 response plan.
On Twitter, Carra said the pilot would permit people to book a picnic table to enjoy a beer or glass of wine in designated city parks, similar to the city's bookable fire pit program this past winter.
I actually have a Notice of Motion coming forward to pilot open consumption in parks as a Covid response. If #yyccc approves we’ll treat picnic tables like this winter’s bookable fire pits as a start for this season. https://t.co/RMiIfSJcOG
