OLG Community Recognition Program Cheque Presentation

Woodstock – Representatives from OLG were in Woodstock today to recognize to annual contributions the City of Woodstock receives from OLG as a casino gaming host community. OLG presented the City with a cheque for $1,618,458 recognizing contributions from April 2023 through March 2024.

“We were pleased to welcome OLG to Woodstock to recognize the community benefits derived from the annual slot funding,” said Mayor Jerry Acchione. “These annual contributions have lasting impact in our community by supporting investments in capital projects, programs and initiatives.”

Ingamo Homes, a recipient of the City’s community grants program which is funded by the OLG contributions, was also in attendance to showcase how the contributions can help improve the lives of families in the community.

“OLG is proud to be a vital part of the City of Woodstock”, said Kathleen Devine, OLG’s Senior Municipal Relations Manager. “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.
