On April 1, 2016, the newly-passed
Horse Racing Licence Act, 2015, came into effect, transferring responsibility for horse racing regulation from the Ontario Racing Commission (ORC) to the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO). As the 2016 race season gets underway, senior Judges and Stewards will be holding information sessions to explain what is changing – and not changing – as a result of the integration of the ORC into the AGCO.
Please find below a detailed schedule of the dates, times and locations for the AGCO’s upcoming information sessions. We look forward to seeing you there!
