GAMBLING IMPACT REVIEW
GRINS’ newly published GAMBLING IMPACT REVIEW illuminates the far-reaching impacts of gambling in Nova Scotia, drawing from the genuine experiences of local people.
We explore how gambling affects institutions, business, youth, families, and individuals. We discuss the role of VLTs in perpetuating gambling dependency. We examine the hidden costs that gambling imposes on our communities, particularly in terms of health and social stability. And we challenge the myth that gambling has economic benefits.

ABOUT GRINS:
We are not “anti-gambling”. Rather, our goal is to provide insight, promote dialogue, and inspire action to mitigate the harms associated with it. Our vision is a future where the culture of gambling is transparent, allowing people to make informed decisions about the risks they are taking.
We know you care too…
which is why we want to share our new GAMBLING IMPACT REVIEW with you!
As a caring person, we would like to include you in this complex and timely conversation. Come to our launch event on December 3rd!
We believe in raising awareness of the risks and harms gambling can cause in local communities − not only for individuals, but for communities as a whole.
And we truly believe that, together, we can make a difference!
