It has been reported that on Tuesday, September 12, members of Toronto and East York Community Council went on the record as voting against the addition of a casino or expanding gaming facility downtown.

An article by the National Post explains that an October 10 forum has been scheduled for Torontonians to let their opinions on the controversial topic to be heard. The session will take place during the community council's next scheduled meeting, which will get underway at 6:00 p.m.

A report by the Toronto Sun on yesterday's council decision has quoted Councillor Adam Vaughan as saying, “I’m tired of the back room deals, I’m tired of more of these promises that are being offered by people for slot machines in hotels and slot machines in bingo halls as a way of inducing support for casinos.”
