*With one day left until the City of Toronto votes on the proposed Woodbine casino expansion, a community and labour coalition has made clear that unless it is made a signatory in a legally binding community benefits agreement, the northern Etobicoke community of Rexdale is not going to give its support to the project.
*Work on a casino expansion could begin by early 2018, OLG said in its statement, however Ontario Gaming will have to meet conditions set by the city. City council voted 25-19 in favour of expanding gambling facilities at Woodbine in 2015. Mayor awaits ’vision’ for Woodbine.
Mayor John Tory’s Executive Committee moved forward proposed new developments for the Woodbine Racetrack, which involve expanding the complex to include hotels, restaurants, and a casino.
The city will get a $16 million hosting fee – which is approximately 2.2 per cent of the total $750 million gross “slot revenue,” according to OLG financial statements – the city’s acting chief financial officer, Joe Farag, told the committee on Monday.
Apr 26, 2018 Woodbine Racetrack will be home to a large casino in Toronto. On Thursday, Toronto City Council approved expanded gaming at the popular racetrack, by a vote of 26 to 15.
Local councillor Michael Ford was enthusiastic about the future of the development.
“What goes beyond this project [in future phases of a master plan that is not before the committee], let me tell you – it is a miniature city of investment about connecting with the local colleges and universities in the area, creating green space, residential development, and the whole nine yards… it is the greater vision for the north-west. It just doesn’t stop here,” Ford said.
“I do believe this is a significant investment in [solutions to fix] some of the challenges we see in North Etobicoke. This [plan] will go a long way to help us improve the economic viability of the north-west [part of the city].”
Mayor John Tory endorsed the plan. “There’s no such thing as a bad deal for the city that produces 5,000 or more jobs for people who need them, and many of those jobs are going to go to local people [in Rexdale]. So there’s no such thing as that being a bad deal. “You won’t hear me describing a bad deal out of thousands of jobs for people.” Tory said, referring to an earlier comment made by a councillor criticizing the plan.

Mike Williams, the city’s general manager for Economic Development & Culture, said that while the Woodbine complex will create approximately 5,000 jobs (half in the casino and half outside in hotels and restaurants), the real increase to the city’s economy is actually less. “Somewhere else in the GTA, jobs won’t happen, so therefore the net impact, taken overall, is a third of that number – is about 1,600,” Williams said.
Members of the public who came to speak about the item were skeptical of the community benefits in the plan before the committee.
“What we have in front of us is not a significant stretch for the operator in terms of what it would do normally,” John Cartwright of the Toronto and York Region Labour Council said in his deptuation to the mayor, Executive Committee, and staff in attendance. “There’s a number of things missing [from the plan], including a living wage, childcare, hard targets on construction, a labour peace agreement that was supposed to be part of the original frame, and monitoring and enforcement.”
Theo Lagakos, president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada Local 533, told councillors, “If you look at the gaming industry, these guys live and breath trying to squeeze as much money out of people’s pockets as possible… It’s your civic duty to make them responsible to create good jobs.”
Asked about the potential positive impact of making childcare available on the site, Lagakos said the need can’t be understated.
“We have a lot of single moms, and a lot of times they’ll come to me, they’ll come to the union office, and they’re trying to manage things, manage their life, and most of them can’t afford any type of childcare… you hear horror stories. Sometimes someone will tell me in confidence, ‘I’ll leave my kid at home and work the night shift.’ You can’t do that, but people are desperate.
“That’s what Rexdale is. It’s a desperate, desperate area of the city, and no offense to Mr. Ford there, but nothing, nothing has been done in the last 30 years in Rexdale. My opinion.”
Staff recommendations for the expansion of gambling at Woodbine Racetrack and community benefits related to developments by Woodbine Entertainment Group are expected to be debated at the next council meeting. It’s official! Toronto—Canada’s largest city—now has casino table games, thanks to the Great Canadian Gaming (CGC) and Woodbine Racetrack and will perhaps include sports betting.
On Friday, 31 September, the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation announced that its subsidiary, One Toronto Gaming (OTG), had received the necessary municipal zoning approvals from the City of Toronto to offer table games at Casino Woodbine—the previously slots-only casino attached to the fabled racetrack.

Over the years, the casino industry has considerably evolved in Toronto—which has always been a popular gambling city—and across the Ontario province. Unlike the British Columbia casino industry, Toronto doesn’t have as much scope or influence. However, with the launch of live table games, it is becoming evident that Toronto is beginning to catch up, and there are a lot of things to expect as Toronto-based casinos begin to develop.
While British Columbia casinos claim their revenue is declining due to the introduction of anti-money laundering rules and regulations, it seems like Toronto and Ontario are beginning to wax stronger. As a result of the approval, the Woodbine casino has formally launched 50 “live dealer” tables alongside around 200 electronic tables and ‘stadium’ style gaming positions that can accommodate a further 100+ positions.
According to OTG, it expects to include an additional 50 live tables and over 300 additional slot machines – bringing the property’s total slots count to around 3,000 – in the fourth quarter of this year, increasing the available jobs in the province.
“This is another important achievement for One Toronto Gaming, made possible by the hard work from our team in collaboration with stakeholders including OLG, our regulators, and the City of Toronto,” stated Rod Baker, the President and Chief Executive Officer of One Toronto Gaming in a report.
“This not only is a significant step in the expansion and overall development of Casino Woodbine, but this additional gaming amenity has generated over 400 new jobs and will create another 300 by the end of 2018.”
Earlier this year, Toronto City Council approved the planned expansion of Woodbine expected to be completed in 2022. The proposed casino expansion at the Woodbine Racetrack would bring in about $30 million in annual revenue for the city and equally provide hundreds of jobs to local workers.
Interim city manager Giuliana Carbone noted that in 2022, when the facility is fully built-out, the city can expect to receive $26 to $31 million a year, according to estimates from the province’s Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG). Also, by the end of 2022, the new facility is expected to provide roughly 3,700 new jobs and Carbone reported that Ontario Gaming plans to ensure “at least half of the employees will be working full-time after two years of operation.”

With the successful addition of table gaming in the casino, it’s almost certain that residents might not have to wait that long to begin witness significant changes in the area.
After posting an impressive second-quarter results, it safe to assume that Great Canadian Gaming is taking giant steps to become a dominant force in the Canadian casino world. However, this is one of the key developments for the future of the industry and as a result, it is going to open the door for a lot more interest in casino gaming—hence bringing more revenue to the area and helping the industry grow significantly.
