SPRUCE GROVE, Alta. – Hundreds of people are gathered outside an Alberta church charged with refusing to follow COVID-19 health rules.
On the first Sunday since GraceLife Church was shut down and fenced off by Alberta Health Services, an estimated 500 people gathered outside to oppose COVID-19 regulations and show support.
GraceLife Church and its pastor, James Coates, are charged under the Public Health Act for holding services that break health restrictions related to capacity, physical distancing and masking.
The scene quickly de-escalated and some protesters helped police repair the fence. pic.twitter.com/yFU6DWwxRS
