Upcoming Workshop to Build Capacity for First Nations Gambling Research

Along with its partners in the Canadian Consortium for Gambling Research, the MGCC is co-sponsoring an upcoming research workshop, Gambling and Problem Gambling Research with Indigenous Populations. The goal of the workshop is to build knowledge and skills in the research community by bringing together researchers, practitioners and students to discuss methodologies, approaches and challenges in conducting gambling research with indigenous populations.

The workshop will be held in Banff on April 12, 2012, immediately prior to the Alberta Gaming Research Institute’s annual conference. Please click here for more details or to register for the workshop.

The Manitoba Gaming Control Commission (MGCC) is committed to building a strong foundation of valid and reliable empirical research to inform our operational, policy advisory and public interest activities. As such, we have developed a robust research agenda that is updated annually to reflect evolving research priorities. Articulating research goals allows the MGCC to undertake strategic research projects that best support our broad regulatory responsibilities.

In addition to conducting independent projects, the MGCC collaborates with provincial, national and international research partners to build research capacity and contribute to major research initiatives.

We combine academic standards with our regulatory perspective to be a leader in gambling research relevant to Manitoba’s gaming environment.
