On Wednesday, March 18, 2020 Great Canadian Gaming
Corporation announced the temporary suspension, until further notice, of
the conduct of racing and training at its three racetracks that are
currently active. This includes Flamboro Downs in Hamilton, Ontario,
Hastings Racecourse in Vancouver, B.C., and Fraser Downs in Surrey, B.C.
The suspension of racing and training activity is driven by the
heightened concerns in both jurisdictions with the spread, and attempted
containment, of the COVID-19 virus, and recent direction from provincial
governments and health authorities in both provinces to significantly
limit public gatherings of any kind. Great Canadian recently decided to
conduct racing at all three tracks without spectators, but Great Canadian
felt this more significant action was necessary to protect the health and
well-being of Great Canadian’s team members, the industry participants
that race and train at the racetracks, and the support personnel for the
industry.
“This was a difficult decision for the company to make,
especially considering a similar decision was made for Great Canadian’s
gaming properties across the country just a few days ago,” stated the
company’s COO, Matthew Anfinson. “But as the circumstances changed in
recent days in both B.C. and Ontario, we felt this was the only decision
that addressed the current health concerns that are impacting so many
other Canadians currently.”
Great Canadian will be working with the
breed associations that represent the racing participants, as well as
regulators, for the orderly shutdown of racing facilities at the three
properties
