31-Mar-07. Bishop applauds casino fund ban. Calgary Herald, B2.

Bishop Fred Henry, the head of Calgary’s Catholic community, is relieved that the Calgary Catholic School District has banned all gambling-related fundraisers by March 1, 2010. Henry acknowledged it will be difficult for some schools to wean themselves off of the $2-million generated annually by casino and bingos which is why he supported the three-year grace period.
