Central Huron gets much needed OLG payment

The Municipality of Central Huron has received $118,316 from Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation for fourth-quarter non-tax gaming revenue for hosting Gateway Casinos in Clinton.

Acting together on the advice of public health authorities, OLG and its service providers temporarily closed all casinos in Ontario on March 16, 2020. The casino closures remain in effect until it is safe to resume operations.

“During these unprecedented times, we all feel a closer connection to our local community. Often the biggest impacts are the result of actions we take to help our neighbours,” said Lisa Thompson, MPP for Huron–Bruce. “This fourth-quarter payment comes at a vital time as all levels of government are working together to provide real relief and support to people and employers during the COVID-19 pandemic.”

In the 2019-2020 fiscal year, the Municipality of Central Huron received a total of $658,204. Life to date, Central Huron has received more than $11 million in non-tax gaming
