Fines could not stop worshippers who were back at churches in Chilliwack and Langley yesterday

BY , Dec 22, 2020 12:57 AM - REPORT AN ERROR

Worshippers were back at churches in Chilliwack and Langley yesterday.

This happened just days after police announced more than 18,000 dollars in fines to churches for breaking COVID-19 restrictions that ban in-person worship services.

Over the month since the ban was implemented, the faithful have gathered on Sundays at the Free Grace Baptist Church and Free Reformed Church in Chilliwack, as well as Riverside Calvary Chapel in Langley.

Mac Cross travelled to Chilliwack from Abbotsford to attend church, where he says worshippers were wearing masks and staying apart.

The BC Civil Liberties Association recently wrote to provincial health officials requesting an exemption to the ban on in-person religious services in accordance with public health safeguards.
