Edmonton city council is planning to formally oppose the relocation of the Camrose Casino to south Edmonton. Council has drafted a letter of opposition to Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) outlining concerns about the casino’s relocation.
The casino’s relocation was denied by AGLC last November, but a new proposal was accepted in January.
If it’s approved, it would keep its rural licence, and charitable earnings would go to Camrose area charities.
Coun. Keren Tang of Ward Karhiio, to where the casino would move, said the city was neutral during the first application but did outline concerns to AGLC, including the impact of the move on the local charitable sector.
