3-Nov-05. Reject casino: Doerksen. Red Deer Advocate, A4.

Red Deer MLA Victor Doerksen has written a letter to the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) advising them to reject a contentious proposal to expand the Jackpot Casino. Doerksen said the Parkvale neighborhood is clearly opposed to the casino’s proposal to add 4,300-square-feet for a poker room and additional slot machines. The AGLC has received 78 letters in favour of the expansion and sixteen from those opposed.
