Municipal government[edit]

Municipal office

The current mayor of Point Edward is Bev Hand.

In the late 1980s, the provincial government initiated a plan to amalgamate Point Edward with the larger city of Sarnia, although many residents opposed the merger and the plan was abandoned in 1991. Even under the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario government of PremierMike Harris, which forced amalgamations of many municipalities in the province (including of many towns which were geographically distinct settlements) in the late 1990s, Point Edward remained untouched. Despite this, some municipal government services in Point Edward are provided on contract by the city of Sarnia. For example, Point Edward is served by both Sarnia Transit and Bluewater Power Distribution, Sarnia's municipally-owned hydroelectricity provider.

Economy[edit]

Most businesses in Point Edward are independently owned. The only franchises located in the village are hotels and the OLG Casino Point Edward.

Gateway Casino Point Edward[edit]

The Gateway Point Edward Casino^[4] is located on the Village of Point Edward's waterfront on Venetian Boulevard. The casino holds over 450 slot machines and tables, and takes pride for being involved within the community. It sponsors town events and helps the surrounding economy by offering and creating jobs and purchasing goods locally. Funds and game revenue are directly paid to the municipal government of Point Edward for hosting the casino, generating 33.4 million dollars to date for Point Edward's economy. The establishment also has an in-casino restaurant called Getaway which seats its guests both inside and outside, viewing the Blue Water Bridge waterfront.

Live entertainment included Big Kenny, and then Joan Spalding and her band played in the last 16 years. It was also famous for its Bridge Tavern butter tarts. However there was stiff competition from the Casino and there were no buyers for the business. The former building was torn down after several structural deficiencies were discovered inside the restaurant, office and second-level apartments.^[6]
