Check Your Blind Spot

The Responsible Gambling Council is out with a new public awareness to help problem gamblers in the district.

'Check Your Blind Spot' aims to help residents identify the signs and symptoms of a problem gambler.

C.E.O. Jon Kelly says gambling is a real issue in northwestern Ontario.

"We estimate there are more than 2-thousand people in the Kenora-Rainy River district who probably have gambling problems," says Kelly. "The good news is that there is excellent counselling available across the province."
