25-Apr-06. MLA opposes downtown casino location. Red Deer Advocate, B1.

Red Deer South MLA Victor Doerksen said he’s disappointed by a government decision to approval a $1.5-million expansion request from the Jackpot Casino. The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission agreed last week the expansion can go ahead provided the casino makes more parking spaces available. Local Parkvale-area residents opposed to the casino expansion have complained that casino casino patrons park on neighborhood streets.
