The City of Langley has benefited by receiving a share of the net gaming revenue from Cascades Casino. In fiscal 2013/2014 the city received $5.6 million from revenue generated by the casino. Much of these funds are used for a variety of capital projects throughout the city.
“Gateway Casinos & Entertainment, the owners of Cascades Casino is an excellence corporate partner with the City of Langley and have been since the beginning. They are involved in many of our initiatives, committees and programs. I could not be happier to have such a company working within my city.” says Mayor Ted Schaffer “Not only does the city receive valuable funds as a host municipality but we see many deserving community organizations receive grants from the Province through the Community Gaming Grants Program.”
“It has been our pleasure to provide our community and guests with a superior gaming and entertainment experience since 2005. I am extremely proud of our team here at Cascades and look forward to the next 10 years, says Ray McNeil, General Manager at Cascades Casino Resort.
