B.C. Socio-Economic Study [Online Report]

In June 2004, the Province of British Columbia initiated a Lower Mainland Casino Impact Study. This project tracks the impact of the introduction or relocation of casinos/slot machines on the social and economic circumstances of four communities. The first report, "Determining Socio-Economic Impacts of New Gaming Venues in Four Lower Mainland Communities: Socio-Economic Issues and Impacts Baseline Report" (2005, June) provides data on the current social and economic factors in these communities.
