Canada.- The Canadian Lottery Coalition (CLC) has named Molly Cormier as executive director. Cormier joins the coalition from Atlantic Lottery (AL). Previously, she served with the Government of New Brunswick and has a background as a journalist.

The CLC, an alliance of provincial lottery operators, said she will lead its work with governments, regulators and industry stakeholders as it responds to the growth of online gambling.

Dallas McCready, president and CEO of AL and a member of the CLC executive board, said: “Molly brings the experience, leadership and judgement the Coalition needs as governments and regulators confront growing challenges around gambling advertising and consumer protection. She understands the urgency of supporting player health, especially in the face of clear gaps in federal law and enforcement.”

Cormier commented: “I am pleased to join the Coalition at a time when the need for clear, coordinated national policy to protect player health, especially among young Canadians, has never been greater. My priorities will be to address gaps in federal legislation and regulation related to the promotion and advertising of online gambling, particularly sports betting; respond to the continued proliferation of illegal online gambling websites in Canada; and strengthen collaboration with governments, regulators and industry stakeholders. Canadians should be able to clearly distinguish between legal, accountable gambling options and offshore sites that operate outside Canadian and provincial laws and public safeguards.”

Loto-Québec recently reported its financial report for the nine months ending December 29, 2025. The corporation generated revenue of CA$2.3bn, up 2.6 per cent compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. Alberta will see the launch of regulated online sports betting and igaming on July 13.
