BC couple accused of flying to Yukon to get COVID-19 vaccine to appear in court
A Vancouver couple accused of flying to a remote Yukon community to get the COVID−19 vaccine will have to answer for their alleged actions in a courtroom.
Former Great Canadian Gaming Corp. CEO Rodney Baker and his wife, Ekaterina Baker, were given summary tickets last week for violating the territory’s Civil Emergency Measures Act, which carries fines of up to $1,000, plus fees.
Yukon Community Services Minister John Streicker said Wednesday those tickets have been stayed and the same charges are being served upon the couple on a longer−form information, with a notice to appear in court in Whitehorse.
