casinoThe Municipality of Callander has sent a letter to the Chair of the Board for OLG.

The letter states their concern with “potential pitfalls including gambling addictions and associated crime and social problems.”

Mayor Hec Lavigne says there are liabilities to consider and the host city or operator should share revenues with surrounding municipalities.

Lavigne goes on to say they are not necessarily opposed to the establishment of a casino in North Bay but the lack of funding to assists with addressing any negative impacts in Callander is something they want to discuss.
