2026 Impact Revealed as Windsor OLG Host Site
Today, the City of Windsor and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) gathered to reflect on the impact associated with being a host gaming community.
Officials gathered at Dieppe Gardens to unveil the new OLG flower bed and recognize the impact OLG has had on Windsor over the past 32 years under the Municipality Contribution Agreement (MCA). In the 2025–2026 fiscal year, the City of Windsor received $9,284,338 through its partnership with OLG.
Since the city’s first casino opened in May 1994, the City of Windsor has continued to receive an annual share of the gaming revenue generated from hosting Caesars Windsor through the MCA with the OLG. To date, Windsor has received $140,630,268 from this ongoing partnership.
“Each year, the City of Windsor receives significant funding from OLG through Caesars Windsor. Today reflects over three decades of shared progress and commitment with opportunities to fund a range of infrastructure projects and community initiatives that positively impact residents across the city. With a continued focus on keeping taxes low and Windsor affordable, we are Investing Responsibly and more than ever before in the infrastructure, assets, and amenities that matter most to Windsorites. OLG is working in lockstep with us, with generous annual contributions supporting everything from road improvements and infrastructure upgrades to park enhancements, new playground equipment, recreational facilities, economic development initiatives, and more. On behalf of City Council and the City of Windsor, thank you to our partners at OLG and Caesars Windsor for your ongoing support and investments in enhancing quality of life, ensuring sustainability, and Protecting our Future.” — Windsor Mayor Drew Dikens
