Beginning June 23, you can sip beer, wine, or any alcoholic beverage you want, at four selected public parks in Burnaby.
People can legally drink outside in four of Burnaby's parks from June 23 till Oct. 30.One councillor opposed the project, citing concerns laid out by the city’s medical health officer, Dr. Lindsay Bowthorpe, of Fraser Health who recommended council decline the program due to health concerns related to alcohol.
He added, “There are several communities that have implemented the responsible drinking in parks … and I haven’t heard any negative things about those other communities.” Deputy parks director Carmen Gonzalez told council other municipalities with similar programs found busier parks already have safety considerations like more lighting, noting the more people in an area, they more responsible people are likely to be.
