By Medicine Hat News on January 3, 2017.
A whirlwind 48 hours has seen padlocks go on — and now come off — the front doors of Casino by Vanshaw at the Medicine Hat Lodge.
News staff at the casino on Tuesday afternoon were told by casino managers that the gaming establishment would reopen on Wednesday, at which time a full statement would be provided.
The following statement was posted on the Facebook page of Casino by Vanshaw on the afternoon of Jan. 3:
On January 2, 2017, the Medicine Hat Lodge sought to terminate the Vanshaw Casino’s Lease and locked the casino’s doors. They did so without a Court Order and acted on their own and in our view without legal authority. We responded immediately and on January 3, the Court of Queen’s Bench ordered the Medicine Hat Lodge to restore Vanshaw’s access to the Casino premises.
Vanshaw Casino supports 182 non- profit groups as well as 80 families through employment. We believe that the Medicine Hat Lodge has broken the law by locking us out and we will pursue further remedies. We are also taking steps to move our facility to a more community supportive location. It is my intention to continue to serve our local groups with Casino fund raising opportunities for many years to come. I would like to thank all involved for their patience and support.
We have been serving the community for 24 yrs. and will continue to do the same for at least another 24 yrs.

A six-year-old rental dispute between Casino by Vanshaw and the Medicine Hat Lodge has resulted in the landlord locking the doors.
A notice placed on the casino entrance on Monday states that the Lodge had terminated a lease agreement due to a “lack of rent.â€
“We are working diligently to ensure that the casino closure is temporary and will only last a couple of days,†it reads.
Officials with casino operator Vanshaw Enterprises, were not available for comment.
Court documents obtained by the News state that in October a judge ruled in favour of Lodge owner, Mayfield Investments, stating that 2010 rental agreement between the parties was valid.
Officials with Medicine Hat Lodge did not immediately return phone calls.
This story will be updated with more information as it becomes available.
