'We're part of the entertainment industry and we're very much working in response to the preferences [of] our customers,' says Don Pister, who speaks for the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, the agency in charge of province's gambling interests.
'There's always been a demand for us to be open on that day, and so we shall again this year.'
He adds that casinos offer dining and live entertainment and not all patrons gamble.
However, Doug Little, a former compulsive gambler who wrote a book about his addiction, says most people at a casino on Christmas are there to gamble.
Free onshape cad. 'A lot of times people on Christmas Day are going to be alone because they've gambled their lives away, and the only place that they can go on Christmas Day is the casino where they can continue to lose … not only their money but their lives,' he told CBC News.
As he sees it, closing casinos for a day wouldn't stop people from gambling on others, but it would send the right message, considering that government offices and liquor stores take Christmas off.
For some Albertans, getting in line at a liquor store on Christmas Eve to stock up on holiday libations is as much of a tradition as opening gifts. But this year, they may be able to avoid the lineups.
Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis announced on Dec. 16 that it would allow liquor and cannabis retailers to open on Christmas Day.
A week after the announcement, it appears only a limited number of the businesses in Edmonton will take advantage.
'We wanted to serve our customers and this way we are saying thank you to our customers by staying open,' said Dipanjan Nandi, manager of cannabis retailer Spiritleaf at 10561 109th St.
Spiritleaf is one of only a few cannabis stores that will be open on Christmas Day. Nandi and another manager will each work four-hour shifts, while other staff have been given the holiday off.
'We want to see how it goes. Probably things will change because cannabis is an ever changing industry. This year they say 'Yes', maybe next year, 'No',' he said. 'So for this year we will be open. Next year we'll see how it goes.'

Many store managers said receiving notice from AGLC only a week before Christmas wasn't enough time to get staff lined up who were willing to work the holiday.
Crown Liquor in the Ritchie neighbourhood will be among the few liquor stores in Edmonton open on Christmas Day. Two staff members will be working, despite initial troubles to find people willing to work the holiday.
