Ontario Racing Statement On Federal Government Taking Over Single Event Sports Wagering Bill
November 26, 2020
By Ontario Racing
“As the voice of the horse racing industry in the province, Ontario Racing would like to thank the Government of Canada and Minister Lametti for taking into account the importance and significance of horse racing and the many jobs in Ontario that depend on the horse racing industry, in regards to the potential legalization of single event sports wagering in our country.
“We are grateful to Woodbine Entertainment for ensuring the best interests of horse racing and horsepeople in Ontario remains a top priority. Ontario Racing will continue to work in concert with Woodbine Entertainment and other industry partners to support and promote our world-class racing and the thousands of people its employs."
John Hayes, Independent Chair, Ontario Racing
