Yeah, a few grandstanding councillors acting like they know better than everyone.
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for squirrels enjoying a nice IPA or chardonnay while hunting for nuts. What I worry about is how those stupid signs will disorient them and they won't be able to find their nests. Also, more drinkers will probably mean less tokers, which means less hackysack. Squirrels love betting on hackysack. (Don't ask me how I know).
The Alcohol in Parks Program continues with a high level of satisfaction among park visitors, with few issues arising, and minimal operational impacts across all parks included in the program.
Monitoring and evaluation findings of the parks allowing personal consumption of alcohol did not reveal any major concerns or issues. Findings showed that over 80 per cent of park visitors who responded to a survey were satisfied with their visit and felt safe and welcomed. The majority of park visitors said people drinking in parks were considerate, and there were no significant increases in service requests for amplified noise, disruptive behavior, or overflowing garbage/recycling bins, nor an increase in calls to Toronto Police Services, including in parks most recently included in the program.
