OLG MAKES SECOND-QUARTER PAYMENTS TO GAMING SITE HOST MUNICIPALITIES

SAULT STE. MARIE – The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) today issued second-quarter (July to September 2015) non-tax gaming revenue payments totalling $29,557,973 to 22 municipalities which currently host OLG facilities. To date, host municipalities have received more than $1.1 billion in non-tax gaming revenue.

“OLG provides host municipalities with significant revenues every year which help communities invest in local priorities and infrastructure projects important to them,” said Charles Sousa, Minister of Finance.  “These funds directly benefit vital public services like health care and education while contributing to enhancing the local economy.”

These payments are made under an equitable formula in the Municipality Contribution Agreement that determines the fee municipalities receive for hosting an OLG gaming facility and are based on an escalating scale of gaming revenue that is consistent across all sites in Ontario.

At approximately $2 billion annually, OLG provides the Ontario government with its largest source of non-tax revenue. Modernization will help OLG provide more money to Ontario for hospitals and other government priorities.

In fiscal 2015-2016, the province will allocate $115 million in gaming revenue to support charities through the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Every year, the Government of Ontario allocates funding to the province’s problem gambling program for research, treatment and prevention. The amount for fiscal 2015-2016 is $38 million.

Working Toward a Sustainable Future for the Horse Racing Industry

Over the past eight months, the government, OLG and OHRIA have been working closely on key elements of horse racing integration.

All parties are engaged in a dialogue with the industry on areas of mutual interest. Through these discussions, a great deal has been accomplished. OLG meets regularly with the industry, is defining how horse racing fits into the modernization framework and is laying a foundation for the industry’s success.

OLG has a new horse racing division, led by a new Senior Vice President. It is developing a co-branding marketing strategy and preparing to launch horse-themed products through its Lottery and Internet business channels. OLG has also signed leases with almost all racetracks in Ontario that host its gaming sites.

In addition, the regulatory merger of the Ontario Racing Commission and the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario is moving forward and the government’s five-year Horse Racing Partnership Plan continues to support the industry.

The next area of focus is developing a financial model to provide a long-term funding framework. This includes exploring options that help create economic confidence in a transparent and accountable way, beyond 2019.

The government has asked OLG to provide recommendations on this topic by the end of the year. Cal Bricker, OLG’s Senior Vice President of Horse Racing, is leading a collaborative discussion with the industry on this subject.

Horse racing is vital to Ontario’s rural communities and is an important part of our province’s rich heritage. The ongoing collaboration between OLG, the horse racing industry and the Ontario government will help create a sustainable industry in the province for generations to come.
