Drinking alcohol may soon be allowed in some city parks this summer and fall.

In May, Toronto City Council voted in support of directing staff to come up with a pilot program permitting personal consumption in 20 parks.

City staff’s report goes before the Economic and Community Development Committee July 6.

The committee’s recommendations will then go to City Council at its meeting July 19 – 21.

If approved, starting August 2 until October 9, anyone 19-and-older would be allowed to responsibly drink alcohol in the parks listed below.
