CALGARY (660 NEWS) – The hospitality industry has been hit hard during the pandemic, but for many restaurants, patios have been a lifesaver for those who are concerned about dining out during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many people are choosing to eat out on patio’s and Mayor Naheed Nenshi is considering keeping them open during the colder months, so customers have another way to dine instead of being inside the restaurant.
“It sounds silly but its works and lots of cold weathered places put blankets on tables and keep those patios open as far into the season as we can. But by enlarge most of those are taking away parking spots not driving spots and so I am personally very happy to keep those in place as long as they are practical, and people are using them.”
Nenshi said that conversation will happen on a case by case basis and is reminding Calgarians to stay vigilant and get used to wearing face masks.
