Industry consultations regarding a proposed long-term funding framework for horse racing have begun, with Ontario Racing making stops in Toronto and at Flamboro Downs this week.

You can view a full list of upcoming consultations here, with the next opportunity for in-person engagement taking place in Sarnia at Hiawatha Horse Park on November 9.

  • Wednesday, November 9 - 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. - Sarnia (Hiawatha Horse Park)

Ontario Racing encourages all interested parties to submit their feedback about the future of our industry by accessing our online consultation portal here. The portal includes a series of questions and the option to attach a word document, for those who would like to share additional thoughts. The proposed long-term funding framework was outlined in a webinar, hosted on October 19, and can be viewed here.

Ontario Racing will collate industry feedback, and that perspective will inform next steps in negotiations with government on a path forward for a sustainable horse racing industry in Ontario.
