    Reply to: [email protected] Braz Menezes 2512-55 Harbour Square Toronto, ON. M5J 2L1 Date: January 15, 2013 To: Toronto City Council From: York Quay Neighbourhood Association (YQNA) Subject: Proposed Mega-Casino in Toronto Dear Councillor Pennachetti, I am writing to you on behalf of York Quay Neighbourhood Association (YQNA) on the Central Waterfront. We are a RESIDENTIAL community organization, representing just under a half of the persons of 15 neighbourhoods, immediately around the two downtown sites, that registered a residential population of 92,000 in the 2011 census. With new construction, this can be expected to top 120,000 by 2015. At a recent YQNA meeting held at the Radisson Hotel January 8, 2013, the members present overwhelmingly voted by a show of hands that they are AGAINST the idea of a casino in general. More specifically, they oppose a mega-casino anywhere downtown that increases congestion and threatens the city’s economic and social fabric. Our opposition can be summarized as follows: Process of Consultations: • Many of our members attended the City Hall event on January 9th to learn more about the Mega-Casino and were very disappointed with the format and scope. • The Open House format did not permit a formal presentation and Q&A time, where serious questions could be asked by people who are knowledgeable and concerned, and where the responses by the OLG, city councillors and staff of City Hall could be heard by all. The lack of information generated a spontaneous meeting that somewhat filled in the gaps, but many people left with a slanted view in favour of casinos because of the format.
