Today, the province announced ways our government is making it easier for people to honour heroes and support their communities at local legions and service clubs.
The government is offering a new, free social gaming licence that will allow legions and other local community groups to host small stakes games like bridge, euchre and bingo. Legions and charities will also benefit from new opportunities to fundraise through progressive jackpot (loonie and toonie) raffle lotteries.
I am happy to share this exciting news with Simcoe North for the benefit of all our Royal Canadian Legions.
