24-Jun-06. Bishop gets our attention. Edmonton Sun, 7.
Edmonton’s Catholic school board will meet next week to discuss the future of school-sponsored casino fundraisers, following recent threats by Calgary Bishop Fred Henry to blacklist schools that continue the practice. Unlike Henry, Edmonton Archbishop Thomas Collins is not threatening schools but is opposed to raising money through gambling. Like problem gamblers, Collins said organizations like schools can become addicted to gambling.
