History
The Ontario Lottery Corporation (OLC) was created in February 1975 as a Schedule II operating agency through the authority of the Ontario Lottery Corporation Act to operate lotteries in the Province of Ontario. It was responsible for operating and maintaining lotteries, charity casinos and slot machines at Ontario racetracks.
In 2000, it was governed by a nine member, provincially appointed Board of Directors. The Corporation was organized into five divisions. Each division reported, through the Chair and Chief Executive Officer to a Board of Directors, whose nine members were appointed from the private sector.
The OLC merged with the Ontario Casino Corporation in April 2000 to form the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation.
