Casino public meeting set

The long-awaited public information meeting regarding the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s plans to build a 300-slot casino somewhere in Collingwood, Clearview Township, Wasaga Beach or the Township of Springwater (an area the OLG calls Zone C7) will take place at 7 pm on Tuesday, October 16 at the Wasaga Beach RecPlex.

OLG officials will be in attendance at the meeting to provide information on the proposed gaming facility opportunity and to take questions from members of the four municipality’s Councils. However, while the public is encouraged to attend, there will not be an opportunity for ratepayers to ask questions directly of the OLG. According to a joint press release issued this week from the four municipalities, those who have questions should submit them to their Councillors before the meeting. Contact details for the members of Clearview Council can be found at www.clearview.ca/home/government/council.
