Cypress Hills campers and conservation officers report no real problems this long weekend
CYPRESS HILLS, AB – This weekend marked the first time in a very long time that Albertans could drink in certain provincial parks legally.
On Thursday, Premier Jason Kenney relaxed the rules around liquor consumption in provincial parks, allowing them to be consumed by adults in their campsites.
Jasmin Bennett of Medicine Hat, spent this weekend camping at Cypress Hills, where liquor restrictions were generally put in place by park staff, prior to the long weekend.
However, along with the remainder of the province, Bennett was allowed to enjoy a cold-one this May long in Elkwater.
