When Don Bourgeois and Harley Redlick showed up at a Canadian Gaming Association event just before Christmas in December 2023, inquiring minds among the attendees asked the pair of Osgoode Hall Law School graduates when they were bringing back a gambling law certification program launched in 2017 only to be placed on hiatus during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Well, Bourgeois and Redlick listened and the result is the return of the five-module program, which will begin April 3 and run through early May.
The two gambling industry veterans were Steve McAllister’s guest on a new episode of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by GBG Plc. Bourgeois, who has more than 25 years of experience in the gaming sector and Redlick of Sharp Edge Picks fame, summarized the curriculum for the 2025 program – which reflects the evolving legal gambling industry in Ontario and the rest of Canada. They also told our humble host the potential beneficiaries of participating in the program.
The pair also weighed in on the evolution – and the wins and losses - of Ontario’s regulated marketplace since launching in April 2022, and provided some thoughts on the launch of an expanded legal sector in Alberta.
And, oh yes, we asked Redlick for his thoughts on Super Bowl LIX; the Philadelphia Eagles’ surprising dismantling of the Kansas City Chiefs delivered a banner evening to sportsbooks (as reported yesterday by Patrick Everson for Fox Sports).
