The Responsible Gambling Council (RGC) focuses on paying attention to how gambling feels during Problem Gambling Prevention Week which runs in Niagara Region from October 8 - 14.
People who experience mixed feelings about gambling, such as guilt, anxiety, and/or frustration, are encouraged to know the signs and recognize they are important warning signals.
According to the RGC, these feelings are there for a reason and ignoring them can only make a situation worse – impacting not just the person but also family and friends. That’s why it is important to pay attention to how gambling makes you feel – before it becomes a problem.
RGC research shows that approximately 3.4 per cent of Ontarians have a moderate to severe gambling problem.
During Problem Gambling Prevention Week, RGC is urging people to know the signs and listen carefully to how they feel about their gambling. The free to attend educational campaign includes tips on how people can take direct action to protect themselves and get free, confidential help.
Warning signs include:
• Feeling guilty, anxious, frustrated or worried about your gambling
• Thinking or talking more than usual about gambling
• Gambling more to win back losses
• Experiencing extreme highs from gambling wins and extreme lows from gambling losses
• Getting irritated more easily or having less patience when dealing with normal, everyday activities
The good news is that paying attention to how you feel about your gambling is the first step to early detection of a potential gambling problem.

Leamington Fire Services is urging residents to look, listen and learn about fire safety during this year's Fire Prevention Week. This year's theme of Fire Prevention Week, which runs from October 7-13 is "Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware. Fire can happen anywhere."
The theme focuses on three fundamental actions people can take to be fire-safe:
1. Look for the potential fire hazards around your home. Take action to prevent fire from starting:
2. Listen for the smoke alarm in an emergency. Make sure everyone knows the sound of the smoke alarms and can hear them in an emergency,
3. Learn two ways out of every room. Practice a home fire escape plan with everyone in your home before a fire starts so you and your family can get our quickly.
"Everyone has a responsibility to protect their family and home from a fire. Prevention is always the best course of action. Identify potential fire hazards in your home and take action to make sure a fire doesn't start" said Fire Chief Andrew Baird.
Leamington Fire Services is hosting Public Education Session at Rona located at 274 Talbot St. W. in Leamington on October 20, 10am-2pm in support of Fire Prevention Week and this year's campaign. The event will include demonstrations, smoke alarm information and maintenance and fire safety planning.
