Canada.- Petroglyph Development Group (PDG) has closed its acquisition of Great Canadian Casino Vancouver in Coquitlam, British Columbia, from Great Canadian Entertainment.

We are building an economy that is ours, one that funds our priorities, honours our responsibilities to neighbouring communities and creates opportunity for our people long into the future.”
Erralyn Joseph, president of PDG, added: “Building the Snuneymuxw economic portfolio is grounded in a vision of sustainable, self-determined growth and in the belief that meaningful economic development is built on strong Nation-to-Nation relationships. Operating on Kwikwetlem territory is a responsibility we take seriously, and we look forward to building a partnership that reflects that.”
Matt Anfinson, chief executive officer of Great Canadian, commented: “This transaction is another milestone in our ongoing collaboration with Petroglyph Development Group and the Snuneymuxw First Nation, and we’re grateful for another successful closing. With this representing our fourth completed transaction with PDG, it speaks to the trust and confidence we have built together. I’d like to thank everyone from our respective teams for their hard work, and I look forward to seeing the properties thrive under PDG’s leadership.”
Ian Simpson, Yaatqumtun, chief executive officer of PDG, said: “We are building a diversified, sustainable portfolio, while continuing to deliver real benefits for the communities where we operate. Great Canadian Casino Vancouver has long been an important part of the Coquitlam community, and that will not change.”
