3-Aug-05. Casino-expansion consultation process inadequate. Red Deer Advocate, A4.

This detailed article discusses a proposed expansion of the Jackpot Casino in downtown Red Deer and its impact on the residents of the nearby Parkvale community. It is noted that the Parkvale Community Association and the Jackpot Casino have been at opposite side of a number of issues in the past few years -- particularly those related to parking and traffic. The author then examines the roles of the Red Deer City council and the provincial gaming commission in the approval process.
