Two Lethbridge professors will be among researchers conducting a $685,000 study looking at the impact of gambling in the province. The project, which is funded through the Alberta Gaming and Research Institute, is expected to take 26 months to complete.

Yale Belanger, a professor of Native American studies at the University of Lethbridge, said they’ll be looking at all forms of gambling, including casinos, horseracing, VLTs, bingo, lottery pull tabs and casinos on First Nations reserves.
