Approximately 150 dedicated employees at Kawartha Downs face an uncertain future. If the slot machines at this beloved establishment are shut down, these individuals will lose their livelihoods, impacting not just their personal lives but also the well-being of their families. This isn't just an individual struggle; it's a communal one that affects local businesses, farmers, and the broader community.

Kawartha Downs has been a cornerstone for the local economy, supporting jobs, tourism, and fostering community connections for years. It's a place where generations of families have gathered to create lasting memories. Closing the slots will deprive the community of not just a source of income, but a venue that binds us together.

The slots at Kawartha Downs are more than just a game; they're an economic driver. With approximately 150 jobs on the line, the closure threatens to send ripples through our communities, affecting businesses that rely on the patronage of the facility’s visitors. Farmers who supply goods, local shops, and countless service providers stand to lose significant income.

We urge the stakeholders and decision-makers to reconsider this closure. We encourage Doug Ford and Lori Scott as well to reconsider this. By keeping the slots open, we continue to provide jobs, fuel the local economy, and maintain the vibrant community spirit that Kawartha Downs has always supported.

Let's come together to ensure that Kawartha Downs remains a thriving part of our community. Sign this petition to keep the slots open and support our community, livelihoods, and cherished memories for future generations. Make your voice heard by signing this petition today!
