News - Ottawa’s top doctor says a new casino would be bad for Ottawa’s health. But if city council continues to pursue one or more new gambling sites, it should ensure the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation pumps $2 million into community-based gambling treatment services in the city. That would be a steep increase from the $741,000 the Champlain Local Health Integration Network currently receives to fund programs in Ottawa – a number that hasn’t changed since 2007. On top of that, Dr. Isra Levy, the city’s medical officer of health, says the city should allocate 6.5 per cent of its annual take of casino revenue (around $350,000 of the city’s current take from the Rideau Carleton Raceway slots) towards gambling-prevention programs run by Ottawa Public Health. That figure is currently zero. No estimates on possible future casino revenue have been made public because it’s not known how large a new facility could be – or if there could be multiple gambling sites. The report released on Aug. 12 will provide ammunition for councillors who are opposed to adding more gambling options in the nation’s capital, a discussion that kicked off a year ago in Ottawa after the OLG asked municipal councils whether they would be willing to consider accepting new gaming facilities as part of its gambling modernization plan. The board of health will discuss the report at its Aug. 19 meeting and the information will also fuel a discussion at the finance and economic development committee on Aug. 26 about whether city council should ask the province and OLG to allow two gambling sites in Ottawa.

Alfredsson became an unrestricted free agent July 1 and was free to talk to teams in a limited capacity. He surprised many a few days later by signing a one-year $5.5 million contract with the Detroit Red Wings. Senators general manager Bryan Murray told media the team had offered Alfredsson $4.5 million for one-year, but Alfredsson’s agent, J.P. Barry, was said to have been asking for $7 million.
