The Canadian Lottery Coalition (CLC) has a new Executive Director, with the appointment of Molly Cormier to that role, as the igaming industry in Canada heads into a busy period with SBC Summit Canada in late May, followed by the launch of Alberta’s new igaming market in July.
Cormier has spent her of most recent career with Atlantic Lottery, where she worked in public relations, marketing and policy engagement within Canada’s regulated igaming sector.
The CLC is an alliance of provincial lottery corporations, including Atlantic Lottery, Loto-Québec, Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries and British Columbia Lottery Corporation.
Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis was also part of the CLC when it launched in 2022 but dropped out in 2024. Alberta, like Ontario, is about to re-launch its regulated igaming market where private operators will be competing with the Play Alberta crown corporation sports betting and online casino platform. Market launch is set for July 13.
CLC was put together with its stated purpose to help better protect Canadians from misleading gambling advertising while fighting against the proliferation of illegal gambling websites across the country. Going after offshore operators promoting illegal sites by advertising "free-to-play” websites in all forms of media remains an ongoing challenge in Canada, Cormier said.
