Gambling Risk Informed NS (GRINS) [formerly Kings Community Action Group on Gambling] goals include

Join our team on the board of GRINS!

We raise awareness of the risks and harms gambling can cause in local communities − not only for individuals, but for communities as a whole.

(Note: GRINS is not involved in providing, recommending or researching treatment for gambling dependency. Our focus is on building healthy communities with informed and caring gambling practices.)

Board members take an active role in projects, fundraising, and suggesting healthy policy for gambling in Nova Scotia. We meet online monthly, so we have members from across the province. No specific expertise in gambling issues is necessary.

MYTH OR FACT? All types of gambling have the same levels or risk of harm?

MYTH: Different types of gambling have different levels and types of risk of harm.

For instance, a 50/50 draw at the rink has a very low level of risk, but Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) harm about 1 in 4 of regular users and 1 in 21 of all users.
