Great Canadian Rewards

Elements Casino Grand River takes Great Canadian Rewards, the card of the Great Canadian Entertainment casinos in this guide. It works at 12 of the 30. Five are in Toronto & GTA, four in Eastern Ontario and three in Hamilton, Niagara & Brant, Grand River among them. Comp Dollars work at this venue.

Online applications go through greatcanadian.com. They need a valid government-issued photo ID and a mobile phone with a camera for a photo of the face. The other route is the Guest Services desk of any Great Canadian Rewards destination in Ontario. There, a valid government-issued photo ID is enough to complete the application. Applicants must be 19 or older, not banned from a Great Canadian Rewards destination and not self-excluded.

Casino and raceway

Elements Casino Grand River is a casino in Elora, operated by Great Canadian Entertainment. The doors stay open at all hours, every day of the week. To confirm holiday hours, a visitor can look at the casino's own website. To reach the casino locally, call 519-846-2022.

A not-for-profit body, the Grand River Agricultural Society, owns and runs the raceway. Its first race date was April 24, 2004, on a 5/8-mile track spread over 53 acres. Racing here is harness only, with standardbreds. From June to September, most Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings bring live races, 10 to 12 on each card. The first starts at 6:20 p.m., and the GrandWay Lounge shows simulcast racing all year.

At the door

Elements Casino Grand River is at 7445 Wellington County Rd 21, Elora, ON N0B 1S0.

Adults may enter from age 19, which is the legal casino age in Ontario. Great Canadian Entertainment casinos ask for ID from any guest who appears younger than 30. An original government-issued photo ID is required. Staff may also request a secondary ID, so a second piece is worth bringing.
