Surrey, B.C. (May 6, 2016): In honour of Bill Davis, a longtime horseman, harness racing trainer and driver, who recently passed away at the age of 54, Elements Casino will host a special commemorative ceremony in early October when the new racing season begins.
“We want to take the opportunity to honour and show our respect for a man who has done so much for harness racing in British Columbia during his lifetime. He was a remarkable trainer and driver known for being one of the hardest workers in the game,” said Chuck Keeling, Vice President for Great Canadian Gaming Corporation and former General Manager of Fraser Downs.
“I’m relatively new to the industry, but the name Bill Davis was one I learned about quickly. We were all shocked to hear the news of his passing,” said Michael Kim, General Manager, Elements Casino.
Davis earned the nickname ‘The Dominator’ for his outstanding driving and training records which resulted in him receiving numerous designations. He was a two-time O’Brien Award winner who had 5,477 wins during his driving career and netted more than $22 million in purses. As a trainer, Davis won 3,466 races which translated into earnings in excess of $16 million.
His greatest success was his ability to guide and train his son Billy, who is currently a top driver on the elite Ontario racing circuit.
Details regarding the commemorative ceremony at Elements Casino will be shared closer to the opening date of the upcoming racing season scheduled for October 6, 2016.

PETERBOROUGH, ON, April 12, 2016 /CNW/ – Ontario Gaming East Limited Partnership (OGELP) is moving forward with proposed plans to develop and operate a new, multi-faceted entertainment property in the City of Peterborough. If successful, it would mean the relocation of the current slot machine facility located at Kawartha Downs.

“We are excited about the prospect of a Shorelines gaming operation being developed in the City of Peterborough, but we recognize that there are a series of approvals necessary from the City, Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) and the Government of Ontario, before we can proceed,” said Andy LaCroix, Executive Director, Ontario Operations, Great Canadian Gaming Corporation. “OGELP will strive to be an employer of choice and an economic contributor focused on being an active community participant, should we receive all necessary approvals,” added LaCroix.

The new Shorelines gaming property, proposed for 1400 Crawford Drive, would be named Shorelines Casino Peterborough and would feature a series of non-gaming amenities to complement a gaming floor comprised of slot machines and table games.

The formal process with the City of Peterborough will commence in accordance with the City’s official zoning and bylaw procedures.

Ontario Gaming East Limited Partnership, in which Great Canadian Gaming Corporation is the majority shareholder and lead operator, was selected as the successful proponent by the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) to operate gaming facilities in OLG’s Gaming Bundle 2 (East Gaming Bundle). The East Gaming Bundle contains three gaming zones. The first gaming zone includes the Township of Cavan Monaghan, the City of Peterborough and surrounding areas, and is currently served by Shorelines Slots at Kawartha Downs. The second gaming zone includes a new build opportunity to service the City of Belleville and the municipality of Quinte West. The third gaming zone includes the City of Kingston and surrounding areas, including Gananoque and Leeds and Thousand Islands, and is currently served by Shorelines Casino Thousand Islands.
