24-Jun-06. Almighty dollar. Calgary Sun, 5.

This editorial suggests that Calgary Catholic school board is unsuccessfully attempting to reap the benefits of fundraising using gambling events without fully considering the moral obligation that it requires. The Board’s attempts to rationalize this activity involve contributing 5 per cent of gambling-related proceeds to the treatment of problem gamblers. The author says that the Bishop has a reputation of standing up for his faith and that he is unlikely to be swayed on this issue.
