Oops … Champlain Park Missed Booze List
Astute Bulldog readers noticed in a city press release of parks where alcohol can be consumed that Champlain Park was missing from the list.
Why?
Despite Kitchissippi Councillor Jeff Leiper saying that was his choice of park in his ward for the pilot project, it was nowhere to be seen.
And that’s because the councillor missed the deadline for including it in the city announcement.
This from Leiper:

As I noted in last week’s newsletter, my intention has been to ask the City to designate Champlain Park as one of those in the city piloting the removal of the prohibition on the consumption of alcohol. Unfortunately, I was late to fill in the form to do so, so it will be a few more days before it is included in a second round of parks announced officially and the signs go up.

Three things come to mind here. 1) Jeff Leiper wants to run for mayor and can’t even submit a form before the drop-dead date? 2) Why is he talking about a second round when alcohol consumption in city parks is supposed to be a pilot project? 3) Is alcohol consumption in public parks a fait accompli and we’re just going through the motions?
