Calgary Alderman Helen Laroque says the Municipal District of Rocky View pressured developers of the $180-million track, hotel, and casino project to cancel public consultation with Calgarians, preventing them from having a say in the project. The new facility is being developed by Ivanhoe Cambridge and the United Horsemen of Alberta and is currently in the final approval stages. It will be located in the M.D. of Rocky View north of Calgary.
