Expanding The Conversation: Advancing Gambling Harm Prevention in Ethnocultural Communities
When
Thursday Oct 1, 2026
11:00am - 12:15pm
Where
Microsoft Teams
Online
Ethnocultural and racialized communities are a priority focus for RGC's prevention and education programs. Over the past several years, the Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) has moved from culturally specific campaigns toward a more sustained, evidence-informed and community-informed approach to prevention. That shift is being shaped by community partners, program experience, and a new body of research on gambling-related harms in racialized and ethnocultural communities in Canada, including the Greo Ethnocultural Rapid Evidence Review that RGC commissioned in 2025-26.

Where
Zoom Webinar
Online
This panel discussion will explore the important role parents and caregivers can play in promoting gambling awareness and harm prevention. Bringing together perspectives from public health, policy, prevention, and lived experience, panelists will discuss why early conversations about gambling matter, how gambling is evolving among youth, and the role of parents and caregivers as protective factors in preventing gambling-related harms.
The discussion will highlight strategies for starting meaningful conversations with youth about gambling and how to identify problematic behaviour among youth. Participants will also hear from someone with lived experience about the realities of gambling-related harms, the journey toward recovery, and the importance of prevention. Panelists will also share information about harm reduction approaches and available resources to support youth, young adults, and families.
