Abstract

This paper provides an overview of the current state of the North American gaming industry and examines the impact the introduction of casinos has had on horse racing in a number of jurisdictions. It then looks at attempts by the horse racing industry, and legislators, to respond to the restructuring which is occuring in the gaming industry as a result of the proliferation of casinos. Finally, the paper considers the implications of casinos for the future of the Windsor Raceway and the Fort Erie Race Track.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
