Ground has already been broken on the south Edmonton site where the Camrose Casino announced years ago it was moving to — but now, a legal ruling has the facility’s future in question.
In 2022, the casino applied to Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) to move from the rural community of Camrose into Edmonton and in 2024, that request was approved.
A Court of King’s Bench judge, however, recently ruled a judicial review is allowed in the relocation of the casino to a plot of land along Parsons Road, between South Edmonton Common and the Summerside neighbourhood.
Justice Nathan Whitling issued the decision on May 11, after hearing from counsel for both Pure Canadian Entertainment LP and Gateway Casinos and Entertainment Limited against the AGLC.
