A decision by Gateway Casinos to scuttle an employee shuttle service has some Casino Rama workers worried about their ability to get to and from work at the facility in Rama First Nation.
Jack Winer is one of those employees. He is so frustrated with the situation, he penned a letter to Orillia Mayor Steve Clarke imploring the city to step in and offer a replacement service.
“We are not naïve, and know the casino will not reverse its decision to remove (this) service. However, this service affects the people of Orillia – mainly your voters,” wrote Winer, who says he is one of “close to 100 people” whose jobs are impacted by the shuttle’s sudden shutdown.
