00:00:00.000 I'm Lindsay Shepherd fellow with True North here in Hope BC about a one-hour 45-minute drive outside
00:00:10.960 of Vancouver at Roley's restaurant. Roley's has gained notoriety recently because they have taken
00:00:17.120 a stance against British Columbia's vaccine passport program so as per provincial health
00:00:22.720 orders every table service restaurant in the province must ask for a vaccine certificate so
00:00:27.920 patrons have to prove that they are vaccinated against COVID-19. Now Roley's has taken the
00:00:33.840 position that it is none of their business to know the health status of their guests.
00:00:38.160 For taking that position Roley's was ordered shut down by Fraser Health the local health authority
00:00:43.840 in early October so for every day that they've remained open since then they're being fined
00:00:49.440 $100 a day by the municipality the District of Hope. Yes the District of Hope is fining us $100 a day
00:00:56.240 they took our business license away which is obviously completely irrelevant to the situation
00:01:02.080 um the health department is also fining us approximately $345 every two or three days
00:01:09.360 however often they get here and that's for defying the order to close. Today about 150 people came out
00:01:16.640 to support Roley's and show their opposition to BC's vaccine certificate program. And you know I'm not a big
00:01:23.840 protester I never protested in my life but this is about our future and like I said earlier to some
00:01:31.120 other guys they asked me what is the main reason this is for our future this is for the children
00:01:37.440 and we have to let them have what we had our whole life. Having a medical procedure to be part of a civil
00:01:44.640 society is not moral people tend to shy away from controversial issues and just want to follow the crowd
00:01:52.160 and I'm not one of those people I don't follow the crowd I did in my past life I follow the crowd
00:01:57.600 and I just became more and more of a victim my whole life until I understood this I was nothing
00:02:01.760 was going to change in my life. We're seeing awesome support from all over the province people have
00:02:07.520 driven miles we've had people coming in for dinner from 100 mile house from the island from all over the
00:02:13.680 place so it's been great. The restaurant is absolutely packed inside they've got a major wait list
00:02:20.400 staff is busy on their feet there's a lot of families out here today they've even got donations
00:02:26.480 flowing in from people who don't want to wait around to dine so it's been a really positive atmosphere
00:02:32.720 and no police or authorities showed up today but they still are issuing those fines daily
00:02:40.000 I'm Lindsay Shepard with true north in hope bc thanks for watching
