Thanks to the ubiquitous Joey Coleman, you can watch a video of last night's Hamilton Casino Town Hall.

The meeting was moderated by City Manager Chris Murray and was attended by several members of council, as well as a panel: Rick Gray, OLG vice president of transformation; Bruce Barber, executive director of horse racing operations at Flamboro Downs; Ken Leendertse, deputy chief of Hamilton Police; Robert Murray from the Centre for Addications and Mental Health; Dr Elizabeth Richardson, Hamilton's medical officer of health; Prof. Hannah Holmes, economics professor at McMaster University.

The gallery was packed with a lively audience of several hundred casino supporters and opponents.

The video runs 2 hours and 40 minutes.
