The Town of Milton has received nearly $2 million from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG).
$1,899,393 was issued to the Town for OLG’s second quarter (July 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021) non-tax gaming revenue payment. These payments are made to the Town for hosting Elements Casino – Mohawk.
Since August 1999, Milton has received almost $125 million in non-tax gaming revenue.
“Our government is pleased that land-based casinos have reopened safely and are contributing to our provincial economy again,” says Milton MPP Parm Gill. “Host communities are once again benefiting from local employment and the financial proceeds that support vital services through Municipality Contribution Agreements.”
The money from this exchange goes towards the Milton Community Fund program.
OLG makes payments to host municipalities under the Municipality Contribution Agreements, using a prescribed formula consistently applied across all sites in Ontario that is based on a graduated scale of gaming revenue at the hosted site or sites. Life to date, host municipalities have received more than $1.76 billion in non-tax gaming revenue.
