TORONTO, ON – OLG is proud to welcome its newest Executive Leadership Team member, Esther Zdolec, who is joining the organization as Senior Vice President, People and Culture. Ms. Zdolec will begin her new role on January 16, 2023 and will serve as the senior executive leader at OLG’s head office location in Sault Ste. Marie.

“We are delighted that Esther is joining OLG and will be residing in the wonderful community of Sault Ste. Marie,” said Duncan Hannay, OLG’s President and CEO. “This appointment builds on our commitment to strengthen our executive leadership presence in the Soo — and we believe Esther will be a great addition to our high-performing team and will be an engaged community leader in the city.”

Most recently, Ms. Zdolec has been Vice President, Organizational Effectiveness and Human Resources at Fleming College, Peterborough. In this role, she was responsible for the full range of human resources and labour relations services across the college. Previously, Ms. Zdolec held executive roles in both the public and private sector, including Executive Vice President, Human Resources at Infrastructure Ontario, a crown agency of the government of Ontario, as well as Vice President, Human Resources at Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, and Senior Vice President, Human Resources at Candu Energy and SNC-Lavalin. Ms. Zdolec also worked for OLG in Sault Ste. Marie early in her career as Manager, Human Resources.

“I appreciated the opportunity to meet with OLG President and CEO, Duncan Hannay shortly after I was elected to discuss growing OLG’s operations locally, and the relocation of an executive leadership position to Sault Ste. Marie is certainly a positive development,” said Sault Ste. Marie Mayor, Matthew Shoemaker. “The City is committed to continue working with the OLG to ensure as many positions as possible are located at the headquarters in Sault Ste. Marie.”

Ms. Zdolec’s commitment to workplace culture, empowering and growing employees, and fostering diversity and inclusion, along with her experience in both the public and private sector, will be invaluable as OLG continues to advance its winning culture and positions itself as a destination for top talent.

“I’m pleased to be rejoining OLG in my new role and am excited about returning to the Soo,” said Ms. Zdolec. “OLG has a great reputation as an employer and I look forward to playing a role in building its winning culture, especially in the community. Sault Ste. Marie offers many competitive advantages to OLG, and we want to grow our talented workforce in the city.”

TORONTO, ON – During the holiday season, as we prepare to share gifts with family and friends, Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) would like to take this opportunity to again remind parents and adults that all lottery products, including INSTANT tickets, are a form of gambling and are not suitable gifts for children and minors.

Lottery products may be great gift ideas for special occasions, but they are not for children and youth. It’s important that parents and adults understand the proven risks and impacts associated with underage gambling. If you decide to buy lottery gifts for friends and family, please ensure the recipients are at least 18 years of age and older.

There is extensive free information and resources available dealing with youth and gambling:

• The YMCA Youth Gambling Awareness Program (YGAP) is a free service funded by Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to raise awareness among youth of gambling risks, how to make informed decisions, and healthy, active lifestyles.
• The Gambling, Gaming and Technology Use (GGTU) program at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) supports addictions and mental health service providers through continuing professional development, digital tools and resources, and facilitating knowledge mobilization activities related to problem gambling, video gaming, and internet addiction.
• The Responsible Gambling Council (RGC), an independent non-profit organization focused on the prevention of problem gambling in Canada and worldwide, with information on Teens or Young Adults and gambling.

Also, OLG’s PlaySmart.ca can help parents understand the facts when it comes to games, and concepts like odds and randomness. There’s also a “Finding Help” section with links to the support resources above and more.

OLG has supported the National Council of Problem Gambling and McGill University’s Holiday Campaign for many years, which encourages lotteries in Canada, the United States and around the world to promote the important message that lottery products are not for kids.
