INQUIRING .REPORTER Would you suppéit a casino with-slot machine
TIME is running out for those who'd like to see gaming
tables busy and stot machines whirring on the North
Shore in the name of charity. According to the time frame
set out by the provincial government, all potential casino
operators are to have a general resolution of support from
their host municipalities just one week from today, On
our guiet shore, the likelihood of a charity casino seems
stim. Both North Vancouver City council and the District
reporter of North Vancouver council recently endorsed existing
————— policies which oppose gambling in their municipalities. In
West Vancouver, the issue is not on the table. But if one of the North Shore's First
Nations applies to the provincial government for a licence to run a destination casino on
the North Shore, loca! government will have no say in the matter. And local charities may
not benefit from profits scooped from those tables and slot machines.
