- OLG pays Brantford $1.4 million for hosting casino on unceded Six Nations lands
SAULT STE. MARIE, ON - The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) has paid the city of Brantford $1,429,123 as a first-quarter (April to June 2016) non-tax gaming revenue payment for hosting OLG Casino Brantford on unceded Six Nations lands.
Since November 1999, Brantford has received more than $66.4 million in non-tax gaming revenue.
"OLG gaming site revenue allows host municipalities, like Brantford, to invest in local priorities such as infrastructure and programs and services that help strengthen communities," said MPP Dave Levac.
He says Ontario also benefits from these funds through public services such as health care and education.
Six Nations receive no funding for use of their lands.
