Casino - what does the City Manager's report mean?
The long-awaited report from the City Manager on proposals for a casino in
Toronto has been released. The report presents the City's position on building a
casino in the C1 zone (the waterfront or downtown) or the C2 zone (Woodbine
Racetrack).

The report does not contain an endorsement of a casino. It provides these
recommendations:
- A list of 43 conditions related to planning, economic development, social costs, and financial considerations that should be imposed if Council decided to explore hosting a downtown casino Requesting a report from the OLG reviewing these conditions A timeline that would have Council make the final decision next year once the OLG report is completed Expansion of gaming at the Woodbine site
