From the Niagara Falls Review:
Toddlers with water-wings, splashing about in the YMCA’s leisure pool, seem a world away from the ringing bells, stacks of poker chips and whirling roulette wheels at Casino Niagara.
But there’s a link that might be easy to overlook.
Niagara’s casinos donated $250,000 toward the construction of the MacBain Community Centre, the year-old Montrose Road facility home to the YMCA.
A plaque outside the pool indicates it’s named after the Cares Foundation of Fallsview Casino Resort and Casino Niagara.
That long handle is the full name of the casinos’ philanthropic arm. Almost as soon as Casino Niagara opened in 1996, its management company and employees got into the spirit of giving.
