Slot revenues from Casino Ajax reinvested into community organizations through the Ajax Partnership Fund

Today, representatives from the Town of Ajax and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission celebrated their continued partnership as a host community, which resulted in $5,042,543 in revenues received by the Town for fiscal 2022-23. Through their agreement, the Town reinvests a portion of these funds into the Ajax Partnership Fund and the remainder into its capital reserves each year.

Through the 2023 Ajax Partnership Fund, the Ajax Legion received approximately $9,000 towards the purchase and installation of a fire suppression system. This new system will help maintain safety in their kitchen and allow the Ladies Auxiliary to expand their catering offerings to patrons that use the Legion’s facility.

Representatives from the OLG, Town of Ajax and the Ajax Legion met today to celebrate their ongoing partnership and commitment to the Ajax community as a whole.
