Anti-mask, anti-vax gym in Kelowna ordered to close by health authority – KamloopsBCNow

A Kelowna gym that’s been making headlines for its stance on masks and vaccinations has now been given the order to close.

The order, made under the Provincial Health Act, came from Interior Health on Tuesday and it’s due to Flow Academy operating in contravention of public health orders.

It means the gym must discontinue all services, classes and other offerings, and must not allow any members or other residents to enter the premises.

“IH attended Flow Academy the evening of April 20 with RCMP and City bylaw staff to execute a search warrant and we were denied entrance by the operator,” said a statement from the health authority, which added that additional enforcement action is being explored.

“We issued a closure notice at that time based on ongoing non-compliance with public health orders and failure to comply with a court-issued warrant for inspection.”

In addition to its stance on the COVID-19 pandemic, the business was also operating without a City of Kelowna business license.

Lance Kayfish, the City’s risk manager, told NowMedia that the City has fined the gym six times, for a total of $3,000, for operating without a license.

According to Kayfish, the City has been working in cooperation with the health authority on this file.

Flow Academy’s website stated in the past that face coverings are banned at the gym and recently upped their stance to include a ban against people who have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

“This decision was made after much discussion with other health, wellness and fitness-related facilities across Canada (both public and private), as well as liability insurance companies,” the website read.

“To put it simply, the unknown health effects of the mRNA vaccines, as well as reported side effects such as viral shedding, seizures and death following the administration of these vaccines, are not covered by our liability.”

It added that the policy would be re-evaluated “when clinical trials of this experimental injection are completed in 2023.”

NowMedia’s requests to Flow Academy to comment on this matter have gone ignored.
