Monkey Tree co-owners Jennifer Vornbrock and Steve Dinham appeared in Territorial court on June 16 on behalf of the pub charged under the public health act.

The matter was again adjourned to give the co-owners time to discuss the case with a new lawyer. The matter is now set for July 14 to set a date for trial.

The Monkey Tree was ticketed $5,175 by a Covid enforcement officer in December for non-compliance of public health orders.

Joshua Halpern, a Toronto-based lawyer, has been working with the pair as well as part of a SA国际影视传媒淔ight the FinesSA国际影视传媒� campaign in association with Rebel News. The campaign crowdfunds lawyers for individuals and businesses looking to fight their Covid tickets across the country.
