Regina's city council voted down a proposal to allow alcohol in city parks, 7-4. Saskatoon has no immediate plans to address the issue.
It turns out you won’t be drinking alcohol in a park anytime soon in either of Saskatchewan’s two biggest cities.
Four city councillors voted in favour of the proposal, seven voted against it. The proposal can return to council if a member puts it back on a future agenda.“I think the concerns were around alcohol consumption in itself and residents who have backyards that back onto the parks.”Story continues below advertisement
Varty Bratt, another resident, said the ban on drinking alcohol in parks does not make much of a difference to him.
