Woodstock Receives First Quarter Payment from OLG

The city of Woodstock has received a cheque for $373,177 in non-tax gaming revenue from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation.

WOODSTOCK - The City of Woodstock has received a first-quarter payment from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation. 

Woodstock received a cheque for $373,177 in non-tax gaming revenue for hosting OLG Slots at Woodstock Raceway.

Charles Sousa, Ontario's Minster of Finance explains what the Friendly City will do with the money.

"OLG gaming revenue provides essential funding to host communities which offers greater ability to invest in infrastructure projects as well as important local programs and services that benefit families. These funds directly benefit Ontario's critical public services such as health care and education, and local development." 

At about $2 billion annually, OLG provides the Ontario Government with its largest source of non-tax revenue. The modernization will help OLG provide more money to Ontario for hospitals and other government priorities. 

Woodstock has received more than $ 18.1 million in non-tax gaming revenue since June 2001.
