A Calgary city councillor wants to revive a pilot project that would allow locals to consume alcohol in designated public parks as COVID-19 limits the way people can socialize safely.
Coun. Gian-Carlo Carra plans to bring forward a notice of motion to council next month which, if passed, would allow Calgarians to book picnic tables in the warmer months where they could enjoy an ice-cold beer or glass of wine without the threat of a fine.

Four years ago, when Aryanna Gaidhar was a Grade 6 student in Langevin School’s science alternative program, her class took interest in a neglected space near their school.
The spot in the Calgary community of Bridgeland-Riverside, under an overpass that leads into the city’s core, felt forgotten and unsafe. It was in contrast to the many beautiful spaces the 56 students had explored on community walks with their two teachers, leading the class to wonder: Could this vacant area be transformed?
Aryanna and her classmates reimagined the dreary area beneath the Fourth Avenue flyover as a welcoming and fun park, and they collaborated with students in the University of Calgary’s landscape architecture program to create design concepts.
