Trinity Bible Chapel, Which Broke COVID Rules, Fined for Contempt of Court, Locked Down
On 7/30/21 at 7:57 PM EDT
A Canadian church is being sanctioned for a second time after defying COVID-19 restrictions. On Tuesday, Trinity Bible Chapel, located in Ontario, Canada was issued an $85,000 CAD fine ($68,000 USD) for being held in contempt of court.
The charge stems from an April church service that exceeded the number of people allowed to gather indoors under pandemic guidelines set at that time. The church allegedly blocked surveillance that would conceal the number of church-goers entering the sanctuary, according to Judge John Krawchenko of the Superior Court of Justice.

KITCHENER The doors to Trinity Bible Chapel have been locked for the weekend after a judge granted a temporary injunction. The Attorney General s office asked for an order to have local law enforcement lock the doors on the property on Friday afternoon. Trinity is playing games with the court, said Richard Ogden, who was representing the Attorney General s office, in his closing arguments ahead of the judge s decision. Part of the Attorney General s office s arguments included 75 pages of historical legal interactions that individually mentioned each church elder, including the pastor. The factum repeatedly referred to the most recent Sunday services in April.
