An Ontario church is under investigation after holding an in-person service in Waterloo over the weekend. Trinity Bible Chapel reportedly hosted a large gathering on Sunday despite the province's strict COVID-19 lockdown restrictions.

"Do people not gather at Walmart, at Costco, on movie sets, and at the Beer Store?" reads the statement. "Is the mission of the church not more important than a bottle of whiskey at the LCBO or a bag of Cheetos at the Dollar Store, both entities being deemed 'essential' while the church is deemed 'unessential.'" MPP Randy Hillier, who made headlines last month for hosting a 15-person party, was also reportedly in attendance. Hiller tweeted out a photo of the chapel on Sunday, which appeared to show a large group gathering for the service with no masks. The church event, which was streamed on YouTube, reportedly defied Ontario's gathering limits. Waterloo Regional Police confirmed in a statement that they were aware of the event. "We are working with Public Health and Waterloo Region by-law officials to ensure appropriate action is taken." The church already faces numerous charges for exceeding the limits to in-person gatherings for other events in December and January.
