A well-established 50-year-old ‘Class A’ bingo charity is
setting up its tables in the community.
A proposal has been submitted to the City to relocate
Delta Bingo & Gaming from St. Clair Avenue East to
360 Evans Avenue, near Kipling Avenue, according to
documents filed.
“Our new location will provide a fresh new facility
increased accessibility and exposure for potential new
customers,” Delta Bingo CEO Shawn Fisher wrote to
city officials. “Our business will be able to provide a
facility for the 67 local charities and not-for-profit
organizations to continue their fundraising.”

Fisher said the new 44,000 square-foot
former McCarthy Uniform location (bottom photo) on Evan’s Avenue is
already zoned for use as a bingo hall.
Fisher told officials that Delta Bingo Inc. has been operating
charitable bingo facilities in Ontario for more than 50years, and was located on
St. Clair Avenue for more than 25. The company has
61 full time and part time employees and will add
more in their new space.
“The City of Toronto receives up to $600,000 annually
in fees,” the City was told. “This new location with
improved exposure will draw in new customers to
the bingo as well as the surrounding businesses.”

Prior to the pandemic, the Delta Bingo St. Clair
Sponsor’s Association, distributed more than
$3,000,000 annually in proceeds to its member organizations.
“These proceeds are then used by the charitable
members to help them fulfil their mandates by providing
needed programs and services within the municipality of
Toronto,” according to Delta Bingo.
Delta iGaming Inc. last May launched Delta Bingo
Online, currently the only iGaming website
in Ontario’s regulated market and which features slot
themes and a commitment to local charities.
Officials said Delta Bingo Online is the only active,
licensed iBingo provider in the province. Fans can now
enjoy their favourite game online against other real-time
players for guaranteed prizes.
