The four locations had re-opened on September 28 with a limited capacity of 50 people and no table games or food and beverage amenities.

The company’s other Ontario locations (Casino Woodbine, Elements Casino Mohawk, Elements Casino Flamboro, Casino Ajax, Great Blue Heron Casino, and Elements Casino Grand River) were previously closed this fall as a result of their respective health units moving into more restrictive public health measures.

Details regarding the reopening of the company’s Ontario properties will be announced at a later date.
