With the evolving views of society and to better reflect the maturity of the industries it regulates, the AGCO continues to refine its role in the promotion of social responsibility in the alcohol, gaming, horse racing and cannabis sectors.
A focus on responsible gambling is a key factor in the public’s confidence in the gaming industry. The changing views of the liquor industry place a greater emphasis on responsible use and enjoyment. With the legalization of cannabis, the AGCO’s focus is to ensure that the retail sale of cannabis in Ontario is carried out with honesty, integrity and in the public interest.
