OTTAWA The National Capital Commission says it is working with the City of Ottawa and Ottawa Public Health on additional steps to enforce public health measures in parks after photos of beer bottles and other debris at Vincent Massey Park were shared on social media. Some residents posted photos showing empty beer bottles and cases on picnic tables at the park following what appeared to be a large gathering this past weekend. Vincent Massey Park at 7:30 am today - there were at least ten other tables covered in bottles. Looks like this well planned party got broken up early. Hope they come back to clean up the mess. pic.twitter.com/eh7etAn5vI
