Learn More About BCLC's Community Support
The City of Terrace is immensely grateful for the funding it receives each year from BCLC and Chances Casino Terrace.
You may not realize it, but gambling revenue is reinvested back to communities like ours to support infrastructure projects that would be challenging or even impossible to fund without their help. And this funding does not just go to the City of Terrace; it also goes to a variety of local organizations through community grants, so there are lots of ways that this revenue supports Terrace overall.
The City of Terrace has used our share of funding for a variety of projects—many of which we may not think of as particularly glamorous or flashy—but they are projects that have a significant impact on our day-to-day lives. In the past several years, we have completed sidewalk resurfacing to make your travels a little easier, added radar speed signs at schools for improved safety for students, provided enhanced equipment for our Fire Department to improve emergency response, and much more. We have also partially funded larger projects like road reconstructions around the community to help update our aging infrastructure with better drainage, bike lanes, sidewalks, and other features that help improve travel for all road users.
Some examples of projects and the funding allocated from the gaming reserve to complete them:
- 2023: Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus - $204,915
- 2023: Fire Department Overhead Door Replacement - $14,237
- 2023 and beyond: Pavement Overlays - $200,000
- 2024-2026: Eby Storm Drain Repairs - $100,000
- 2024-2027: Sidewalk Resurfacing - $880,000 over 4 years
- 2025: Sportsplex Lighting and Other Updates - $17,067
- 2025: Radar Speed Sign Replacements at Skeena Middle School - $15,718
- 2026: 100th Anniversary Celebrations - $150,000
This all amounts to a significant impact on our city, and we truly appreciate the opportunity that BCLC provides to make good use of this revenue stream.
