28-Sep-06. School to stop moral gamble. Calgary Sun, 5.

The Calgary Catholic School board yesterday agreed to stop using casino and bingo halls as fundraising venues after a fierce dispute and threats of sanction by church authorities. Board chair Cathie Williams said the school district will no longer depend on what she called the morally problematic proceeds of gambling to fund extracurricular programs. The district raises almost $2-million though gambling each year to support such programs.
