Payout continues for city hosting Cascades Casino

The City of North Bay has received another $367,452 from Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) for hosting Cascades Casino North Bay.

It’s the fourth quarter payment to the city.

It brings the total amount of money the city has received since the gaming site opened in March 2022 to $6.4 million.

“OLG shares revenues with host gaming municipalities to help them invest in local priorities, including community services and infrastructure,” says Vic Fedeli, Member of Provincial Parliament for Nipissing. “These payments generated at Cascades Casino North Bay are part of our government’s commitment to support municipalities and to protect what matters most – those critical services families rely on.”

The money is used as a funding source for community capital projects.
