Whistle Stop owner, Pawlowskis have cases adjourned to Sept., AHS seeking jail time
CALGARY – Sentencing arguments for a Calgary pastor and his brother found guilty of contempt for deliberately violating COVID-19 health orders have been put over until September.
Pastor Artur Pawlowski and his brother Dawid Pawlowski were arrested in May and accused of organizing an illegal gathering as well as promoting and attending an illegal gathering.
The arrests came after court orders were granted allowing Alberta Health Services and police to arrest and charge those who advertise gatherings that would breach health restrictions.
Last month, Justice Adam Germain found Alberta Health Services had proven “nearly to absolute certainty” that the two men were guilty of contempt.
