More than 30 tickets have been issued by Edmonton park rangers for illegal drinking in public since the start of the alcohol consumption pilot project less than a month ago.
That’s more than double the number of fines doled out in all of 2020, with a total of 13. In addition to the $120 tickets handed out, 692 warnings have been issued to residents drinking in locations that aren’t designated picnic sites under the pilot program. Liquor is currently only permitted in 47 locations across seven river valley parks between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m., accounting for about 25 per cent of the picnic sites at these parks. Last year, a total of only 30 warnings were issued.
