4-Aug-05. Confusion reigns over casino bid. Red Deer Advocate, A1.

Parkvale Community Association president Dawna Barnes said she does not know exactly what is included in expansion plans at the Jackpot Casino in downtown Red Deer. Association members fear that there has not been proper public consultation with respect to the project and that there is not enough time to gather input from local residents. Red Deer City council passed a resolution in 2002 saying that it would not comment on any casino applications and it does not plan to comment on the recent proposal by Jackpot casino according to deputy city clerk Nona Housenga.
