So far during OLG’s fiscal year (April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026), Peterborough has received $2,053,832. Since the gaming site opened in October 2018, Peterborough has amassed $17,149,043.

These payments to host communities are based on a formula in the Municipality Contribution Agreement that is consistently applied across all casino sites in Ontario using a graduated scale of gaming revenue at the hosted site according to a press release.

“Year after year, a share of the revenue from Shorelines Casino Peterborough through OLG’s Municipality Contribution Agreement has been an important source of funding for Peterborough, helping to deliver vital services and helping to enhance the quality of life of local residents,” said Dave Smith, Member of Provincial Parliament for Peterborough-Kawartha. “Communities like ours who host a gaming facility benefit from their share of local casino revenue, while all Ontarians benefit from OLG’s gaming revenues, as 100 per cent of OLG profits are reinvested in communities across the province.”
