Shorelines Casino Thousand Islands was recently recognized at an event held in Rockport. The annual Casino recognition event had been cancelled due to the pandemic but this year representatives from the casino, OLG and Great Canadian Gaming Corporation join Town of Gananoque and Township of Leeds and Thousand Islands staff along with community grant recipients including the Gananoque Canoe Club, Lyndhurst Turkey Fair, Frontenac Arch Biosphere Network, the Gananoque Arts Network, Seeley’s Bay Area Residents’ Association and several others. The casino was presented with a plaque in appreciation for their 20 year partnership with both municipalities.
“I am thrilled to take part in this event and have an opportunity to thank not only the Casino and OLG for twenty years of support for our communities but also those vibrant organizations who work tirelessly to make the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands and the Town of Gananoque welcoming, healthy and the vibrant.” Mayor Smith-Gatcke continued “I look forward to the Township’s partnership with the Casino and OLG continuing for many years to come as well as the support for local groups through the Township’s community grant program.”
Gananoque and TLTI have received over $30 million dollars under the Municipal Contribution Agreements since 2002.
