Ottawa – The City of Ottawa today presented a certificate to the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) in appreciation for funding provided. City received more than $5 million last year from revenues generated by the OLG Slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway.
Contributions are placed in the City’s general revenues account and have been used to reinvest in community enhancement projects.
“Communities across Ottawa continue to benefit from this partnership,” said Councillor Mathieu Fleury. “It is heartening to see our parks bustling with residents enjoying services like wading pools, playgrounds, sports fields, pathways with lighting, community gardens, picnic areas and trees.”
Examples of projects supported by these funds include recreation buildings infrastructure renewal, the Jules Morin Park fieldhouse, building accessibility retrofits, and investments in affordable housing.
“OLG is proud to be a vital part of Ottawa for more than 15 years and we look forward to building on that support.” said Larry Flynn, OLG’s Senior Vice President of Gaming. “We’re directly supporting the local economies of our host communities across Ontario by providing a share of gaming revenue. Since opening OLG Slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway in February 2000, Ottawa continues to do some remarkable things with this revenue for the benefit of its citizens. And, we appreciate the contribution of our slots facility employees in making life in Ottawa that much richer.”
To date, Ottawa has received more than $57.7 million in non-tax gaming revenue for hosting OLG Slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway.
