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
CALGARY Our forecasts through this week are more for checking changes (and inevitable increases) to the AlbertaFireBans data than our actual conditional adjustments. It s a boring week! The no news is good news adage will apply in full, here. Today, we apply a minor exception to the rule, as cool wind preceding the boring high pressure ridge aloft brings in a northern billow and may even trigger flurries across the foothills and into the Calgary area, which will serve only to accumulate a higher frowns per capita rate in our city. But, that s just the onset of our high pressure area. The four days thereafter will push in sunshine and keep our heat budget well above seasonal by Wednesday. Break out the shades! Levity aside, however, much of the province is still desperate for precipitation.
