Hey Vancouver! Hope you’re enjoying all that summer has to offer. Whether it’s sun, sea or sand, being outdoors and around nature is good for the spirit. As an added bonus, this summer and into autumn, the Vancouver Park Board has implemented a pilot program allowing the consumption of alcohol in designated drinking sites* across 22 Vancouver parks. The program is ongoing, from July 12 to October 11, 2021 – where adult public consumption of alcohol is allowed at various pilot sites between 11am and 9pm daily.
So go on, get out there and play outside! (Ahem, remember to play safe, drink responsibly, and only leave your foot prints behind.)
