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.
