Celebrating Major Gaming Milestone
After reaching an impressive CA$97 million in casino revenue, the city recently hosted an event at the Brantford Civic Centre auditorium to celebrate the significant impact of OLG’s proceeds on the community. Since 2001, the city has put the casino funds through annual contributions to non-profit organizations, administered via the Brant Community Foundation.
Kathleen Devine, OLG’s senior manager of municipal relations, shared that 100% of the Crown’s profits are reinvested into the province to support provincial priorities. Meanwhile, Mayor Kevin Davis said the city recognizes the strong relationship with OLG, which continues to exceed expectations as a corporate citizen and generous contributor to the local community.
Over the years, projects funded by the city feature recent renovations to the civic centre, physician recruitment, Canada Day events, contributions to public arts and cultural programming, mental health and wellness support, as well as expansion of the Brantford Public Library, Farmers Market renovations, and aid to the Downtown Revitalization project.
