Good Neighbours: Parq Casino’s ‘For Vancouver’ Set of Corporate Values Steers Organization, Champions Community
Local-Forward Philosophy Drives Parq’s Commitment to Effect Positive Change for People, Businesses and City at Large.
Downtown entertainment hub Parq Casino is embracing its corporate set of values called ‘For Vancouver’ that champions the people, businesses and organizations that call the city home and aims to ‘make Vancouver a better place’.
The ‘For Vancouver’ program affirms Parq’s city-first philosophy that sees the resort place a premium on purchasing from regional purveyors, employing local residents, nurturing relationships with neighbourhood non-profits, and donating thousands of dollars and in-kind support to key partners like St. Paul’s Foundation, the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre, the Vancouver Chinatown Foundation and YWCA Metro Vancouver.
Between prizes and funds donated and community sponsorships, Parq has provided more than half a million dollars over the past year to 20 Vancouver charities, non-profits and organizations that have positive environmental and social impacts, as well as spaces and facilities for groups to host their own fundraising events.
Parq VP of Marketing Karen Gray, who spearheaded the initiative, views it as a way to spur change by championing people, businesses and community groups that make the city a better place to live, work and play.
“Lending a hand to the folks next door is what good neighbours do,” says Gray. “To that end, ‘For Vancouver’ is more than just a set of corporate values — it’s a pledge to the community at large that Parq is proud to embrace in thought, word, and deed. We care deeply about the people who live and work here and strive to always make a positive contribution to the place we call home.”
From the produce, meat and beverages used throughout the resort to the soap in its hotel rooms, Parq strives to support the local economy through its procurement and purchasing efforts, with goods acquired directly from vendors and purveyors in neighbouring Downtown Eastside, Strathcona and Mount Pleasant areas of the city.
When it comes to hiring, Parq actively engages and consults with social development agencies such as CAN WiN, Open Door Group, Mosaic, Jobs West, YWCA and ISSofBC to help facilitate its ability to hire and support individuals with diverse backgrounds and barriers to traditional employment.
“We recognize the lasting and meaningful impact our actions have on the community, environment, and well-being of our guests and employees, and we will work together to ensure that impact is the best it can be and supports worthwhile and critical projects and initiatives throughout Vancouver,” says Gray.
Parq Casino President Jeff Craik applauds Gray’s efforts to showcase and support local and inspire change at a grassroots level via the ‘For Vancouver’ initiative.
“Under Karen’s leadership, we’ve been able to help create employment opportunities for marginalized groups, build partnerships with local non-profits and charities, and support numerous cultural and sports events,” says Parq Casino President Jeff Craik. “Her efforts have strengthened the social fabric of BC, brought people together and helped us earn recognition as the #1 casino in North America when it comes to promoting a culture of responsible gambling. Her dedication to fostering opportunity, inclusion and social responsibility showcases her unique ability to drive meaningful and lasting change in the local community and beyond.”

Vixio, a leading provider of regulatory intelligence solutions, is proud to announce its Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Outlook, which found that regulators are cracking down on money laundering weaknesses with severe consequences, totaling over €36m in fines from March 2024 to March 2025 in Europe alone.
Vixio’s AML Outlook examines the challenges of complying with AML requirements in jurisdictions around the world, outlines regulators’ efforts to thwart criminal activity, and considers how payments and gambling firms can prevent being caught up in money laundering scandals.
The report found that in the last year, in the European area alone, there have been around 30 enforcement actions from regulators fining payments and e-money firms for falling short in their adherence to AML/CTF rules.
Financial institutions found to have money laundering weaknesses face profound consequences, with prosecutors and regulators alike generally unwilling to be empathetic on this matter. For example:
- In March 2025, Germany’s regulator, BaFin, fined Ratepay €25,000 over suspected money laundering.
- In February 2025, Estonia’s Money Laundering Data Bureau revoked B2BX Digital Exchange OÜ’s licence for failing to implement proper customer due diligence, transaction monitoring and risk assessments.
- The Bank of Lithuania, meanwhile, revoked Foxpay’s licence in November 2024 for systemic AML/CTF and governance failures, including fund mismanagement and conflicts of interest.
John Gidla, Head of Payments Compliance, Vixio, explains, “Although AML compliance involves significant costs for payments firms – including investment in transaction monitoring systems, customer due diligence (CDD) processes and ongoing staff training – the consequences of failure can be significant. In addition to financial penalties, failing to prevent money laundering can severely damage a firm’s reputation, leading to loss of customers, partners and investor confidence. Maintaining a strong compliance framework is crucial for preserving trust and long-term business viability.”
Until now, the EU’s AML enforcement has been more fragmented, but the EU’s new Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AMLA) could be a significant step towards addressing AML enforcement and closing gaps that criminals have been exploiting for years.
Regulatory scrutiny means that firms need to implement know your customer (KYC) procedures, monitor transactions on their systems for suspicious activity and report concerns through suspicious activity reports (SARs) to the relevant authorities.
