[Update: July 16, 2020]

By now you have probably heard the news that the Government of Ontario has announced casinos are allowed to re-open in select regions throughout the province as of Friday, July 17th. While we are happy to see communities move to Stage 3, we are currently evaluating the announcement and how the capacity restrictions will impact potential re-opening of our casinos.

We will not be reopening this Friday but continue to work with government and the Public Health Officer and look forward to re-opening soon with our extensive health and safety measures in place to ensure the well-being of our employees and customers. Though your visit will be a bit different, we are working hard to make sure it is as fun, but safe, as possible.

Please watch our website and social pages for more updates and announcements as they become available. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

[Update: June 15, 2020]

We appreciate that you may have questions about the return to operations and your next visit. Here is some information to address questions you may have about our programs, promotions, and offers.

GENERAL

When will you resume Casino and Community Gaming Centre operations?

We continue to follow the direction of our regulators and the provincial public health officials. Operations will remain shutdown until it is determined we are able to safely resume operations. When we have approval to re-open gambling facilities, we will do so with appropriate measures in place to support the health and wellbeing of players, employees and communities. These will include enhanced sanitation and physical-distancing measures to reduce player density, including through the reconfiguration of gambling equipment. We will share more information about specific measures in advance of opening, once they are finalized and agreed upon by the health and safety authorities.

Please continue to monitor our website and social media for information.

What safety measures will you take upon resuming operations to prevent the spread of COVID-19?

The health, safety and well-being of our guests and employees is our top priority. We are working diligently to ensure we are prepared to safely return to operations. This means we are collaborating with our gaming regulators and provincial health officials to develop a comprehensive health and safety plan for all our sites so that you have peace of mind when playing at our properties. We look forward to sharing more details on these plans with you once they have been completed.

Is the casino shuttle or bus service available?

Gateway Casinos suspended shuttle services effective March 16, 2020. Currently, health and safety protocols prevent us from resuming shuttle service. Please check our website for updates on when our shuttle or bus services will resume.

What will happen to my My Club Rewards tier? Will it be downgraded?

We are pleased to advise you that you will maintain the same My Club Rewards tier status that you had prior to our casinos closing for the remainder of the earning period until March 31, 2021. At that time your tier status will reset and a new earning period begins.

Will you honour any previously issued slot play or match play offers?

[Update: April 15, 2020] This is truly an unprecedented and rapidly changing situation, in Canada and globally, as we cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. The impacts of this virus continue to be felt by everyone – our family, our friends, our community. I want to share with you our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to our customers and community members who are healthcare workers, first responders, grocery store workers, food service employees and all other frontline staff that are keeping us safe, healthy and fed during these difficult times – you are the true heroes.

To help our local hospitals and health units, Gateway donated more than 80,000 units of masks and gloves to help keep them protected as they do their very important work. Additionally, as our casinos across Canada were mandated to close we worked extremely hard to ensure we donated all perishable food items that would not keep. Our restaurants were able to provide their community food bank and soup kitchens with more than $40,000 in perishable goods. We also provided them with over 49,000 units of cups, napkins and take-out containers to assist them in serving their clients.

With the health and safety being the top priority of all team members and guests, we continue to follow the recommendations of government and public health officials and will remain closed until this health crisis ends and it is safe for us to re-open. But we wanted to reach out to say we hope you and your family are safe and healthy and we miss you. In the coming weeks, we will be sending out more messages to stay connected while we must all stay apart.

Thank you again to all of the Canadians that are working on the front lines in our health care system and to those that are working to provide us with essential services. It is truly heroic work you are undertaking on behalf of all Canadians.

We will get through this together and we will be writing again soon to say hello,

Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Limited

While some casinos in Ontario are reopening this morning, the doors remain locked at Casino Rama.

However, the operator of the gambling facility east of Orillia received some good news recently.

On Friday, Gateway Casinos and Entertainment became the first Canadian employer to receive a loan from the Canada Enterprise Emergency Funding Corp. (CEEFC) under its Large Employer Emergency Financing Facility (LEEFF).

The agreement provides Gateway with access to $200 million of liquidity.

“These funds will provide us with capital to support restarting our operations and returning people back to work when it is safe and viable to do so,” Gateway CEO Tony Santo said in an email to employees.

He noted the pandemic “hit our employees and their families and communities hard” and said the company is “appreciative of the LEEFF program.”

He said the loan is a shot of good news amid months of dire news.

“Back in the spring, we believed that this shutdown would be for a few weeks,” said Santo of the government shutdown of casinos on March 16 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“However, we have now seen that the closure has lasted far longer and there is continued uncertainty about how long the shutdowns will stretch.”

That uncertainty has been taxing for employees, says Corey Dalton, president of Unifor Local 1090, which represents employees at Casino Rama and Gateway Casino in Innisfil.

“After being off of work for more than six months, all of our casino members are struggling financially at this point,” Dalton told OrilliaMatters.

Unifor Local 1090 and Gateway recently negotiated an agreement that extended health benefits for unionized employees until the end of September, he said.

The new LEEFF funding prompted Gateway to extend benefits for all members until Oct. 31, at which point they will review benefits again.

“We are extremely grateful and applaud Gateway for this decision,” said Dalton.

Another key component of the agreement included the opportunity for members to enrol in a 'paid inactive leave' program that would provide members with ongoing financial support through the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS) program.

“The paid inactive leave program has been very beneficial for a large amount of our members,” said Dalton. “Unfortunately, this program was scheduled to expire on Sept. 26. Late last week, the federal government indicated that they would be extending CEWS into 2021. We now anxiously await important details from the federal government on the extension and any limitations the program may have.”

Dalton said employees are eager to get back to work. An August poll of members concluded 70% of unionized Casino Rama employees were 'comfortable to return to work if safety precautions are implemented.'

Dalton said provincial regulations handcuff casino operations.

“The Ontario government has placed extensive restrictions on casinos,” he said, noting table games are currently prohibited from reopening and all casinos are limited to a maximum of 50 guests.

“Both the Union and the employer have asked the Ontario government to review this cap,” said Dalton.

“Local 1090 maintains a strong belief that the guest-limit needs to be proportionate to the physical size of each casino. Casino Rama has one of the largest gaming floors in Ontario in terms of square footage - there is an ability for Gateway to provide safe, physical distancing for a larger number of patrons than other facilities which can be 20% (or even less) of the square footage,” Dalton explained.

Santo agreed, saying the “50-customer capacity limit ... makes reopening very challenging.”

Santo said they “have developed extensive health and safety plans corporately and for each of our sites. These plans include two metres physical distancing, the installation of Plexiglas for areas of frequent employee/guest interactions, rigorous cleaning measures and the mandatory use of masks or face coverings for all individuals entering the gaming sites.

“Our health and safety standards have been reviewed by external subject matter experts and they have been proven to be successful through the re-opening of select food and beverage outlets across the company,” he said.

“Despite our detailed plans that well exceed the protocols and oversight in every other area of the economy, there is no sound science to support why we are not allowed to open while big-box stores, restaurants and gyms are allowed to re-open,” Santo explained.

“We operate in a highly regulated sector and are already accustomed to following government-mandated parameters,' noted Santo. 'We have complete confidence that our operations and our employees can safely and successfully operate under these added health and safety protocols.”

He said Gateway is “continuing to appeal to the appropriate government agencies in all provinces to allow us to re-open our operations in a safe and viable way.”
