The City of Greater Sudbury has secured another $504,738 from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation for hosting Gateway Casinos Sudbury.
So far during the OLG’s fiscal year (April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023), Sudbury has received more than $1 million. Since the gaming site opened in November 1999, Sudbury has received almost $47 million.
“Revenue from OLG’s Municipality Contribution Agreements supports host communities so they can invest in programs and services that benefit everyone, from neighbourhood parks to local festivals,” Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy said in a media release. “These payments help to improve the quality of life and make Ontario a vibrant and exciting place to live, work and play.”
Payments are provided to host communities based on a formula consistently applied across all gaming sites in the province using a graduated scale of gaming revenue at the host site.
Gateway Casinos Sudbury is located at 400 Bonin Rd., east of Chelmsford.
