CALGARY, Alberta — November 12, 2026— Highfield Investment Group Inc. today

Racetrack in Edmonton, alongside the introduction of Spire Casino at both destinations.


The new brands mark a new chapter for Alberta racing and gaming entertainment. Chinook

experiences together in destinations designed to oRer more than a day at the track. Spire

Casino will complement each property with a refined, welcoming casino experience

defined by thoughtful service, comfortable sophistication and memorable details.

properties and in Alberta’s racing and entertainment sector,” said Adrian Munro, President

creating modern destinations, giving guests compelling reasons to gather and celebrate.”

Chinook Downs and Northern Mile share a bold, contemporary approach to racing

entertainment while retaining distinct local identities. Spire Casino is designed to feel

elevated without being exclusive. Its experience is rooted in attentive hospitality, clear and

confident service, and an atmosphere that is sophisticated without pretence.

important part of making each property a complete entertainment oRering,” said Paul

Ryneveld, Vice President of Racing Entertainment Centres. “We are creating places where

guests can enjoy the energy of the track and the excitement of gaming all in one setting.”


Together, Chinook Downs, Northern Mile and Spire Casino represent a renewed vision for

racing and gaming entertainment: bold and social at the track, refined and welcoming in

the casino, and built around experiences guests will want to share.
