Two Toronto city councillors tabled a motion Wednesday that could see a pilot program for consuming alcohol in parks established in time for the summer.
If adopted by council, city staff will work with interested councillors to explore options within their ward, a release issued Wednesday said. Councillors will then have the option to opt-in to the pilots for their respective wards, it said.
Similar motions have been tabled at Toronto city council a number of times in recent years, but none have been successful. Last year, after Toronto—St. Paul's Coun. Josh Matlow brought forward a motion to launch a pilot program for public alcohol consumption, former mayor, John Tory, moved to delay lifting the city’s ban on drinking in public until at least 2023.
In the meantime, staff were directed to submit a report to Parks, Forestry and Recreation outlining the city’s options for drinking in parks, based on results of community consultations, safety considerations and a review of what other jurisdictions with similar programs have learned. The release also noted that major cities, such as Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary, are already piloting similar programs.
