"Earlier this week, Vancouver Park Board commissioners approved a pilot to allow public drinking in certain areas at 22 public parks. But due to delays with the process, the Park Board’s pilot project might not happen until 2021."
Not that it being legalized has stopped anyone. In fact, right outside Stanley Park brewing kiosk and in front of the restaurant itself you'll see dozens of people openly drinking their Stanley beers. It's quite comical - and convenient! I think most people can really care less. The recently closed the soccer fields around Dude Chillin' so we've just relocated to John Rogers or Robson Park or Hinge, depending on crowds. It's even more prominent because bars (especially the patios) are at half capacity.
