Measuring Economic Output Of Horse Racing In Ontario: Prizes Available For Survey Respondents


Ontario Racing is working with


Dr. Atif Kubursi and Econometric Re- search Ltd. (ERL) to measure Horse Racing’s economic footprint in On- tario.


The Economic Survey is where


we need your help. ERL will use this data to measure jobs, GDP, and tax revenues generated within the Ontario horse racing industry. The more re- sponses ERL receives, the more accu- rate the economic measurements of horse racing and breeding in Ontario are. Ontario Racing will also receive a systematic methodology to replicate


this measurement in the future to in- form industry decision making and public policy development. To give participants another op-


portunity to fill out the survey, a sec- ond batch was distributed by Standardbred Canada, Woodbine, Fort Erie, CTHS, and ERL. If you were chosen to complete


the survey, you have the opportunity of winning one of five prizes: 1) Equine Guelph course (Equine Sciences, Business Management, or Equine Welfare) valued over $500 2) Dining Certificate at Mohawk


Raceway, valued at $200 3) Dining Certificate at Woodbine Racetrack, valued at $200 4) Gift Certificate at Greenhawk Equestrian Sport, valued at $200 5) Gift Certificate at Systems Fenc- ing Ltd., valued at $200 The randomly-selected surveys


were released starting July 16. Please look for the invitations in your email or mail and respond at your earliest convenience. Story courtesy of Ontario Racing - www.ontarioracing.com
