A restaurant in Hope that publicly defied the province's COVID-19 vaccine passport system has lost its business licence for six months.

Bylaw officers served the suspension to Rolly's Restaurant yesterday for failure to comply with the BC Vaccine Card regulations.

Hope's Chief Administrative Officer John Fortoloczky warns that if the restaurant continues to operate it could face a 100 dollar fine every day it remains open.
