From the Paper:

T"here can scarcely be any doubt that the introduction of a Casino in Toronto, as anywhere else in Ontario, is a controversial initiative. The following paper will briefly examine the background of casino gaming in Ontario by looking at the situations in Niagara Falls, Rama and Windsor. The succeeding pages will also examine the impact of casino gaming upon the local community in terms of its economic impact and in terms of its impact socially in the areas of crime, addiction and mental health. Finally, the paper will conclude with a summation of the available evidence and a recommendation on the direction the City of Toronto should take."
