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.
