CALGARY Alberta Health Services has taken action against a southeast Calgary Baptist church that it says has repeatedly violated the province s rules regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. Officials say Fairview Baptist Church, located at 230 78 Ave. S.E., was physically closed on Saturday, preventing all further access to the building. This action was necessary as the lead pastor of the church has continued to disregard public health measures required by law under Order of the Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH) for the protection of the public, the AHS wrote in a statement. This closure order will remain in place until the pastor can demonstrate the ability to comply with these restrictions.
