AGLC WILL NOT AGREE TO CAMROSE CASINO DECISION

The Alberta Games, Liquor and Cannabis Commission remains firm on its decision not to allow the requested Camrose Resort Casino to move to Edmonton. Last week, during its hearing decision, the committee confirmed the gambling regulator's 2022 verdict and explained that the casino relocation plan did not receive enough support from the community.

Previously, Capital City Casino issued an official request to AGLC to relocate the casino from Camrose to the Ellersley Industrial Area of Edmonton. But even at the start, regulators said 'no' because many people in the Edmonton area opposed the measure. This led the company to challenge the decision, but to no avail.

Laura Cunningham-Sheffley, managing director of the Edmonton Community League Federation, said supporting the decision was an example of the groups expressing their position. It should be mentioned that Edmonton nonprofit organizations oppose this measure. This is because they feared that some of their charity game profits would be taken away because the relocation would feed rural charities instead of nearby charities.

Jason Pechet, president of Camrose Resorts & Casino, did not comment on recent developments or shortages. Previously, the company that runs the casino said it would close if the property didn't move. After the initial rejection, the operator challenged and a two-day in-person hearing was held in May 2023.

Mr Pechet also noted that rural communities and their leaders should be concerned about royal abuse and regulators' failure to approve transfers that would help address imbalances. Charities in Edmonton receive much more from casino events than rural charities and wait fewer months to host them, according to AGLC data.

Panel member Patty Greer said the balance between charities is a problem that needs to be addressed through policy reform, not by relocating game facilities. At the hearing, AGC's executive vice president of business development Dave Berry added that the previous application was suspended while regulators reviewed the process.

Meanwhile, Paul McLaughlin, president of Alberta's rural municipality, expressed disappointment at the decision that influenced many of his members. He hopes the decision will trigger further discussions on reforms to Alberta's charitable gaming system. McLauchlin believes that the design of the current game system is unfair due to the considerable differences between rural and urban games.
