Great Canadian Entertainment, one of Canada’s largest gaming and entertainment companies, will be reduced to a presence of just two properties in B.C. after a recently announced agreement to sell its casino operation in Coquitlam to the Snuneymuxw First Nation.
Founded in B.C. more than 40 years ago, the company, then known as the Great Canadian Gaming Corp., started by operating a couple of casinos in Vancouver and Richmond, then grew into a gambling juggernaut that spanned the country with casinos in Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
But since June 2024, the company has either sold or announced the sale of seven of its nine casino properties in B.C. to First Nations, representing a dramatic and swift offloading of assets in the province.
