City of Brantford received $1,266,346 from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation in its second quarter payment to the municipality for hosting Elements Casino Brantford.
So far, during OLG’s fiscal year, Brantford has received $2,523,261. Since the gaming site opened in November 1999, Brantford has received $103,860,271.
These payments to host communities are based on a formula consistently applied across all gaming sites in Ontario using a graduated scale of gaming revenue at the hosted site.
“As it has for decades in Ontario, land-based gaming continues to serve as a source of good local jobs and generates vital economic activity in the communities that host gaming sites,” said Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming. “From helping build neighbourhood parks to supporting community programs, proceeds received through the Municipality Contribution Agreement with OLG help make municipalities all across the province better places to live and work.”
