United Way Thunder Bay receiving $50,000 through Wintario50 Community Contest
A local charity has received a boost from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation’s (OLG) Wintario50 Community Contest.
The contest was a province-wide initiative to recognize OLG’s 50 years of operation in the province.
Through the initiative, more than $1 million was sent to 26 United Way locations.
United Way Thunder Bay is receiving $50,000.
“Giving back to communities across Ontario is at the heart of what we do,” said OLG President and CEO Duncan Hannay.
“And what better way to honour that legacy than by inviting our players to help us do just that through this contest. We’re pleased to partner with United Way to further support communities across the province.”
Players who purchased a ticket were able to enter the Community Contest for a chance to win a personal prize, and also an opportunity to nominate a United Way region for a chance to win up to $250,000.
