@CTVCalgary recently posted this news article regarding local Calgary church Southside Victory. @CTVCalgary article has multiple assertions that are false, yet they still ran the article. @CTVCalgary please show journalistic integrity in your reporting. https://bit.ly/2K1pLRB
@CTVCalgary said “a lack of mask mandate” Southside Victory has provided attendees free masks located at 4 sanitization stations in the church. Staff encourage the use of masks to all attendees but do not enforce or create confrontation to force compliance from attendees.. T
@CTVCalgary said “ a lack of mask mandate “ Southside Victory posted the CITY OF CALGARY mask bylaw signage at every sanitization station. STAFF direct attendees to sanitization stations. STAFF are not BLAW OFFICERS and cannot force compliance. Some attendees have exemptions !!
@CTVC said “no physical distancing” Southside Victory Staff posted multiple signs encouraging physical distancing, STAFF do not confront or enforce attendees to remain physically distant. STAFF are not BYLAW OFFICERS . They cannot force anyone to leave due to their noncompliance.
@CTVCalgary said “group performance “ this refers to Southside Victory live worship team. They excersise 6ft of distance between members and approximately 12ft-15ft from audience during service. We try to adhere to both provincial and city bylaws, each has different requirements.
@CTVCalgary claimed the inspection date and verbal warning was DEC 7, 2020. The actually inspection took place during our Sunday morning service on DEC 6, 2020. Interesting that @CTVCalgary or AHS knew the correct date of the inspection.The verbal report was delivered DEC 7, 2020
@CTVCalgary why is beneficial to not report the proper inspection date, because if the inspection happened on a Sunday morning and it caused our pastors to stop there duties to assist inspector then it could be interpreted differently by some .DEC 6 inspection, DEC 7 verbal order
@CTVCalgary said “lack of mask worn by attendees, church staff, volunteers and pastor “ this was accurate, however AHS and BYLAW were onsite DEC 6, and didn’t issue a single ticket to a single individual. THEY focused on church organization and pastors . Pictures on DEC 6, 2020
@CTVCalgary said “Auditorium filled with attendees from different households” AUDITORIUM wasn’t full, this is a false claim, IN THIS ARTICLE you reference Calgary Police arrived at building and counted 180-200 people leaving the building . FIRE CODE for main auditorium is 603=30%
@CTVCalgary said “attendees from households that were not social distancing “ Once again STAFF are not BYLAW OFFICERS and will not start confrontation on social distance seating. STAFF ARE NOT LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENTS.. we advise and direct people it’s up to them to adhere ..
@CTVCalgary said “ live music performance “ This was in no way a violation, it was permitted under the health guidelines.
@CTVCalgary said “The pastor was asked about the attendance at the service and was unable to provide an accurate number with how many were present “ FALSE CLAIM attendance numbers were communicate to inspector onsite by church staff and it was also submitted in report .
@CTVCalgary said “he did not know the maximum capacity currently allowed “ True - we just finished a renovation on our main Auditorium, we are currently allowed 603 but we are applying for an increase as we expanded our main auditorium.
@CTVCalgary said “ there did not appear to be anyone on site counting or overseeing numbers of attendee” THIS IS SPECULATION at best by AHS and @CTVCalgary. AUDITORIUM usher count all attendees in main auditorium and 5 other classroom, plus foyers and staff, every service !!
@CTVCalgary further to the above 
point the number is submitted to the office for record. That was disclosed by STAFF to AHS ever week for past 3 weeks that they have been onsite and conversing with us between services ..
point the number is submitted to the office for record. That was disclosed by STAFF to AHS ever week for past 3 weeks that they have been onsite and conversing with us between services ..
@CTVCalgary said “Therefore maximum capacity may have been exceeded “ I WOULD READ YOUR WHILE ARTICLE!! CPS counted 180-200 attendees leaving .. MAX capacity is 600 in one auditorium.. WE NEVER HAD THAT MANY PEOPLE THERE.. this comment is meant to slander us to your readers !! 
@CTVCalgary said “Officials requested the assistance of CALGARY POLICE SERVICES at the building” BYLAW attended the call, CPS never attended. Ask @CalgaryPolice if they responded to a call Sunday DEC 6, 2020 at Southside Victory. FALSE CLAIM to insight a negative opinion of SVC.
@CTVCalgary said “ officers counted 180-200 leaving the building “ CPS WAS NOT THERE IN A MARKED PATROL CAR counting attendees .. BYLAW attended the call . I personally spoke to them , 1 male peace officer, 1 female officer , saying they responded to a over capacity complaint!!
@CTVCalgary said “The inspector also noticed a lack of COVID-19 related signage to inform anyone possibly exposed to the illness not to enter “ Please review picture of our front door entrance ! PLEASE DO NOT ENTER a church !!
@CTVCalgary said “AHS ordered church administration to ensure mask mandate, cease handing out items that cannot be cleaned and sanitized, make sure building doesn’t exceed its proper capacity laid out “ “in addition to other items that need to be addressed “
@CTVCalgary the above paragraphs outlines masks , STAFF do what they can, handing out items - could be a pamphlet, offering envelop or they could be referring to our COMMUNION cups that are individually sealed .. Southside Victory adhered to capacity guidelines as well..
@CTVCalgary Southside Victory has operated with the desire to follow COVID guidelines without sacrificing our constitutional rights to freedom of religion, freedom of peaceful assembly, freedom of association , we are constantly trying to build relationship with AHS ..
@CTVCalgary Southside Victory was deeply bothered by this article and it’s apparent one sided bias.. @CTVCalgary your 6pm news broadcast contained much of the same content .. ARE YOU AWARE HOW MUCH HATE EMAILS, MESSAGES we have received because of your article and news release!!
@CTVCalgary it’s seems as though AHS and your news outlet intentionally ran this broadcast as a rebuttal to my videos posted DEC 13, 2020 at 10:59 am. that showed AHS and BYLAW harassing Southside Victory during their Covid compliant online service. Dec 13, 2020 Southside Victory
@CTVCalgary did AHS approach you with this story to run on the 6pm Sunday night news as a rebuttal to my videos posted Dec 13, 2020 at 11 am live from Southside Victory .. DID @CTVCalgary coordinate with AHS to bring negative press against my church on Dec 13 !!
