PRA Executive Opposes a CNE Casino

The current Toronto Casino proposal by MGM was a topic of discussion at the May 8th meeting of the PRA's Executive Committee. A motion was voted and passed unanimously opposing the development of any such casino complex at or near the CNE grounds.

The PRA Executive's position is based on the scant and unproven benefits to our community and the serious risk for negative consequences from such a complex, including risks to the econcomic stability of certain local businesses, traffic and congestion concerns, concerns for vulnerable residents and other social impacts, and concerns over the use of public lands for private, for-profit enterprise.

In 1997 Torontonians voted overehelmingly (70%+) against the establishment of a downtown casino and there is nothing to suggest a referendum today would produce a substantially different result.
