We're renewing Kingston's Gambling Policy, and we'd like to hear from you.

This consultation aims to gather community attitudes on gambling harm and inform Kingston's Gambling Policy 2024-2028. Your feedback will help us identify and articulate our current position on gambling, allowing us to continue our advocacy work in this space.

We recognise that gambling can have significant health, social, and economic impacts on individuals, families, and communities at harmful levels. The policy will guide Council in its decision-making to prevent and reduce the harm from gambling within the City of Kingston.

We encourage you to read our current policy and browse the documents on this page to learn more about gambling harm in our municipality.
