The Provincial Court of B.C. has vacated two fines issued against a pastor who took part in worship services in contravention of COVID-19 lockdown rules.
Justice Andrea Ormiston amended the court’s record on Jan. 8 after the Crown acknowledged the two penalties imposed on pastor John Koopman of the Free Reformed Church in Chilliwack, B.C., had already been voided by the Insurance Corporation of B.C., which oversees provincial offence fines.
