By Contributor
People in the West Kootenay have one more kick at the Gaming review can, courtesy of the East Kootenay.
BC’s Community Gaming Grant Review will visit Cranbrook for a community forum on Thursday, Aug. 25 at the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort.
Skip Triplett, appointed last month by Premier Christy Clark to lead the independent review, is examining the role of government in allocating gaming revenue with input from charities, non-profits, community members, local government and others who would like to participate.
The Cranbrook forum, which is open to all, will run from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. at the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort, 209 Van Horne St. South.
