Some Winnipeg parks could resemble pubs if one mayoral candidate gets voted in this October. Rick Shone wants to create a pilot project where Winnipeggers could "responsibly consume alcohol" in five public parks during the summer. "This plan recognizes that not all Winnipeggers have backyards or an outdoor space at home," Shone said in a release. There is no mention of how the pilot project would be monitored for people drinking outside the areas or for over-consumption. Shone says Winnipeggers already drink in parks during events including barbecues and sports.
