“The answer to that question is no,” Tory said when asked during the city’s regular COVID-19 press briefing.
“While there were some parks that were well-used, we did not identify anything that led us to conclude that would be the best answer to deal with it in any event.”
In an interview on CBC, Watson said he was angered after learning of a large party in a city park over the weekend that left piles of trash and broken beer bottles in its wake.
Tory, meanwhile, added the city plans to draw large circles on the grass in major parks — starting with Trinity-Bellwoods — as visual cues to maintain social distancing.

Montrealers rioted, lit fires, and looted shops on Sunday after the Quebec government tightened curfew rules in response to increasing case counts. Residents there who leave their homes without cause between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. are subject to heavy fines.
