Gaming Information
for Charitable Groups (GAIN)
During consultations
with charitable groups, our stakeholders told us that we need
to give them better access to and more information on charitable
gaming policies. We value Alberta’s volunteers and their
ongoing contribution to the overall quality of life in our
communities.
In November 2003,
GAIN was launched to help volunteers gain a better understanding
of the responsibilities and requirements of a gaming licence
and be more accountable to their members and the community
at large. To date, over 10,000 volunteers have participated
in the program.
A need for a new
type of session focussing specifically on the use of gaming
proceeds was identified by the province’s charities
and volunteers. The new session concentrates solely on the
policies around spending gaming revenue earned from casinos,
bingo, raffles and pull tickets.
GAIN and the new
Use of Proceeds sessions are free to all volunteers and charitable
groups, and are available year-round throughout the province.
Sessions are posted quarterly. Please check for frequent updates.
For more information about GAIN or
Use of Proceeds call 1-866-307-7499 or 780-447-7499. All other
inquiries should be forwarded to AGLC’s switchboard
at 1-800-272-8876.
