Chris Scott, owner of the Whistle Stop Cafe, has been acquitted in an Alberta court of all public health charges laid against him during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The acquittal follows a court decision last month ruling that orders made by Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH) were invalid and breached the Public Health Act (PHA).
