29-Sep-06. Gambling jackpot in jeopardy. Edmonton Sun, 7.

The Edmonton Catholic school board, in consultation with Archbishop Thomas Collins, will take another look at the practice raising money at casinos and through bingos after it was banned in Calgary this week. Collins has previously called raising money for schools through gambling immoral. Edmonton’s 84 Catholic schools raise more than $3-million a year through gambling to support additional computers, library resources, field trips and phy-ed equipment.
