How might we measure the impact of the Alcohol in Public Spaces Pilot?
Term: Fall 2020
Department: School of Tourism Management
Course: Applied Research in Tourism (TOUR 440)
Instructor: Francisco Nogueira
Staff contact: Paul Duffy (City of North Vancouver)
The COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant impact on our experience navigating the city and our ability to socialize. In response, Mayor and Council passed a bylaw allowing alcohol consumption at 10 designated locations in the City of North Vancouver. Tourism students will develop research methods to measure the impact of this pilot program on the community.
