How distances are measured
Each distance on this page is a straight line between two map points. One is the casino's coordinates; the other is a town point from OpenStreetMap in Alberta or Saskatchewan (© OpenStreetMap contributors). Roads do not run in straight lines, so any drive covers more ground than the figure shows. The Border Desk does not estimate driving times. Choosing a town opens its road route to the casino in Google Maps.
