Gambling addiction is a serious mental illness and can arise as a cause of many social influences. The goal of this petition is to remove the temptation of gaming through the ban of gambling advertisements in the province of Ontario. We are petitioning the speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Ted Arnott, to propose a bill preventing the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation from advertising lottery tickets, casinos, and games of chance in general within Ontario.

We believe that this petition will also prevent minors from being exposed to gambling at an influential age in the development of the brain.

Furthermore we would like to reiterate that this is simply for the sole purpose of banning advertisements - not banning games of chance in general. If you or someone you know happens to play games of chance, please understand that this is NOT a witch hunt. We would simply like to stop corporations from exploiting individuals and their addictions in order to make money.

Please help us by signing the petition. We can do this Ontario!
