Church Suppers Under Threat According to Provincial Conservatives

The days of traditional church suppers in the province may soon be over.

That warning from Conservative M-L-A Wayne Steeves of Albert. He tells CHSJ news the Liberals plan to bring in new health regulations after next month's provincial election, if they should win, and these will adversely affect many rural communities.

According to Steeves, the Liberals are keeping these new regulations under wraps for the time being to avoid a voter backlash prior to the provincial election next month.

He claims many non profit organisations and community associations depend on the money raised by these benefit suppers which he calls part of the heritage of this province.
Our newsroom has placed a call to the Department of Health and is waiting to hear back from them.
