Integrated Resort: Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp.

Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp.: On its face, the idea of an integrated resort, as proposed by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. and MGM Resorts, seems promising. The worrying social consequences of casinos and their dubious, typically kitschy aesthetics could in principle be overcome by the gambling operations being contained as one component within a complex of a high-quality hotel and other complementary facilities, according to Globe and Mail. But the evidence assembled by the staff of the city government makes it clear that a casino on the CNE grounds would need to be relatively small relatively, that is, to the high hopes of the prospective casino operators and Large casinos do not sit comfortably in the centres of major cities. In greater Vancouver, the River Rock Casino is in Richmond looking over the Strait of Georgia but also literally on the other side of the tracks and the Casino de Montr al is not on the island of Montreal but on le Notre-Dame at the Expo 67 site . Toronto is now wrestling wth the prospect of a major casino; the outcome is likely to be much the same, and so it should be the best option is in the suburbs, at the Woodbine Racetrack. More particularly, the grounds of the Canadian National Exhibition, beside one of the Great Lakes and close to the underappreciated, genuinely historic Fort York, and not far from downtown Toronto, have much potential that is unrealized. They contain excellent trade-show buildings that are unfortunately not accompanied by any suitable hotels for conventions. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
