             adopted policies to guide decisions regarding electronic gaming machines (EGMs) on
             Council-owned or controlled land, with the objective of reducing social harm and

          C. Explore including a policy position on gaming machines as part of the Community
             Purpose Land and Infrastructure Tenure Policy currently under review, to guide decisions
             regarding installation, expansion, or relocation of gaming machines on Council-owned or
             trustee land; and
          D. Consider reinstating membership with the Alliance for Gambling Reform to strengthen
