"We are confident that with these changes, park visitors will be responsible when consuming their alcoholic beverages. It's 2026, not 1926. It is time that we embrace modernization and responsible consumption of beer, wine and spirits in our parks."
"Rules from the Liquor Licence and Control Act still apply, so things like rowdy behaviour, harm to others, irresponsible disposal of empties and any noise issues will still be monitored by the province's 550 park wardens."
"For those who would break the law or cause harm or danger to others, the rules will be strictly enforced and the law will have to be obeyed."
New regulations will allow adults 19 and older to consume alcohol in various areas of provincial parks, including picnic spots and beaches. Certain areas will remain alcohol-free, such as historical sites and places with safety concerns. Signs will indicate where drinking is prohibited. The government emphasizes responsible consumption and trusts visitors to behave appropriately. Existing laws regarding public behavior and safety will still be enforced by park wardens, ensuring that any violations will be addressed strictly.
