Many Toronto city councillors have said drinking in parks is not a major issue, that most residents do so respectfully and responsibly, and no tickets have been issued for it in 2023.

The pilot is in part based on the experiences of other Canadian cities — such as Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary — that have recently expanded similar programs to allow drinking in some public parks.
