The owners of a West Kelowna, B.C. gym say they will continue to defy a closure order for breaking provincial COVID-19 mandates despite receiving thousands of dollars in fines in the last two months.

In an online video posted Feb. 12, Iron Energy Gym co-owner Brett Godin said he’s refusing to pay over $10,000 in fines that have been issued by Interior Health since December for non-compliance with current public health orders, like masking and requiring proof of vaccination.
