Payments are made under a formula in the Municipality Contribution Agreement, which determines the amount of funding that municipalities receive for hosting a gaming facility.
The OLG says that since 1994, host communities across the province have received more than $2 billion in non-tax gaming revenue.
“OLG’s Municipal Contribution Agreement payments are building strong communities where people and families can enjoy a high quality of life,” stated Peter Bethlenfalvy, Ontario’s Minister of Finance. “These revenues help support local program and critical infrastructure, making a real difference for gaming host municipalities.”
