Salvation Army returns to bagged lunches after provincial restrictions

Earlier this year residents were able to eat inside the soup kitchen.

Director of the Bulkley Valley Salvation Army Adam Marshall said it was nice having a sense of normalcy but understands why the restrictions have been made.
