E-mail Print PDF

Some changes to the province's OLG expansion plans could bode well for cities like North Bay, awaiting a potential new casino in the community.

Previously North Bay did not get proceeds from any table games that would be installed, but that has changed and we'd now see a four per cent return. As well, the formula for slot machine revenue has changed. Instead of five per cent of revenues on slots machines, there is now a sliding scale. This scale provides 5.25 per centto the city on the first $65-million and it reduces on amounts greater.

E-mail Print PDF

Area students will soon know what school diverted the most batteries to the household hazardous waste depot. During the past school year, the Greening Nipissing office challenged students to gather as many used batteries as they could. Schools can win cash prizes, but this will be the last year Greening Nipissing runs the event. They lost some grant funding, but they are hopeful some other group will be able to keep it alive, and keep dead batteries out of our landfill.
