While cherry blossoms are approaching full bloom in Toronto, residents have been encouraged to make sacrifices amid the pandemic and skip in-person visits to High Park.
However, photos sent to Global News appear to show bylaw officers skirting the rules they’re enforcing and the photos are raising eyebrows over an apparent double-standard.
City of Toronto bylaw officers can be seen in the photos posing in front of fenced off cherry trees in Trinity Bellwoods Park.
While seemingly innocuous, the behavior flies in the face of City-mandated public health measures in Toronto parks. For more than a month, the City has cracked down on the use of park amenities to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
