All submissions were scored on criteria related to community support, geographic, economic and demographic considerations.
BCLC appreciates the participation of both of these local governments in this process.
Te Expression of Interest process is used to identify and select a local government interested in hosting a gaming facility.

In addition, the Company will acquire the real estate assets of the Apex Casino at the appraised value of CA$12m. Te purchase is subject to, among other things, regulatory approvals and due diligence by the company.
Te Apex Casino opened its doors in its current location in
West Shore Communities and the City of Victoria. Ultimately, municipal governments determine whether a facility proposal proceeds to development in their community.
Jim Lightbody, President and CEO, BCLC, said: “Our plan to serve the Greater Victoria market with better gaming and entertainment options in the region is moving forward. It has always been our intention to significantly enhance the existing View Royal Casino with exciting new amenities and we are working with our service provider Great Canadian Gaming Corporation to fulfil that. In addition, we would like to introduce another entertainment option for adults and tourists in Greater Victoria through a new gaming facility that will provide accessibility and a different experience and that is why we selected the City of Victoria.”
