Ontario: Innisfil council supports Gateway casino move, leaving Georgian Downs racing in peril

A new location for Innisfil’s casino may be in the cards, but the days of betting on the horses at Georgian Downs could be numbered.

At its June 5 meeting, council unanimously agreed to support Gateway Casinos’ Minister’s Zoning Order (MZO) request to rezone lands near Highway 400 and Highway 89, allowing it to build a new gaming facility before the expiration of its lease at the Georgian Downs site.

While Gateway Casinos representatives previously declined to specifically say when the lease ends, its correspondence with town staff indicated an expiry date of late 2027-early 2028.

Since the casino first came to Innisfil in 2001, the community has reaped more than $107 million in cash benefits from hosting, including nearly $7 million since 2018 — when Gateway took over operation of the Georgian Downs casino — under the Ontario Lottery and Gaming’s (OLG) revenue sharing agreement.
