WOODSTOCK - The City of Woodstock has received money from OLG.
South Gate Centre was the venue for the cheque presentation today (Tuesday, November 7th), which totaled $1,569,496, which is from April 2022 through March 2023.
The funds are the annual contributions the City gets for being a casino gaming host community.
Woodstock Mayor, Jerry Acchione says in a release, "Not only do the monies we receive go towards capital projects and special events, but it also allows residents to access programs at a reduced cost through our fee assistance program and helps non-profit organizations deliver services through our community grants program. We are fortunate to have such an active partnership with OLG. Their funding has far reaching benefits across the city."
In the same release, Kathleen Devine, OLG’s Senior Municipal Relations Manager says, "OLG is proud to be a vital part of the City of Woodstock. Each and every year, 100 per cent of OLG profits are reinvested in Ontario to support provincial priorities. From critical infrastructure to important local programs, to community festivals, OLG’s profits are hard at work in the City of Woodstock and all across our province to build stronger communities. Today, we are seeing firsthand how a share of the gaming revenue from Gateway Casinos Woodstock is contributing to the region. When you play at an Ontario casino, you play for Ontario."
The City of Woodstock would like to thank OLG for their continued support.
