Great Canadian Gaming Corporation recently announced that it will be changing its executive team as part of the restructuring process the company began in 2008.

Rod Baker, a senior adviser to Great Canadian Gaming, has been appointed president of the company. Baker has advised the company for the past 18 months, contributing to its restructuring. Baker will oversee the company's operations.

Peter Goudron has been promoted to the position of vice president of River Rock Casino Resort. Prior to his promotion, Goudron served as vice president of casino operations and vice president of planning and development.

Terrance Doyle will serve as Great Canadian Gaming's vice president of property developing and procurement, overseeing the company's redevelopment projects. Doyle worked as the executive director of planning and development prior to his new appointment.

"I am very pleased to announce these changes to our executive team," said Great Canadian Gaming Chairman and CEO Ross McLeod. "Despite the downturn that weakened the global economy throughout 2009, Great Canadian achieved significant improvements in both our efficiency and our financial performance. These three individuals, in combination with the other members of Great Canadian's management, played a critical role in facilitating these improvements. They will continue to optimize our operations from within their new positions, as well as assisting in Great Canadian's efforts to reverse the revenue trend witnessed through nine months of 2009. I believe that all of Great Canadian's stakeholders will benefit as a result."
