Canadian Bank Note Company (CBN) is setting up shop in Sault Ste. Marie to provide technology services for the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp.’s (OLG) charitable bingo and gaming business, creating up to 25 new jobs.
Services provided by CBN will include software development; testing and integration; third-party vendor services and support; and system operation, management, maintenance and support.
“This step is critical to OLG’s Charitable Bingo and Gaming Revitalization Initiative,” said Tom Marinelli, chief transformation officer and chief information officer for OLG, in a news release.
“Today’s initiative represents a new model of collaboration with commercial operators, charity associations and municipalities intended to sustain, modernize and grow revenue for charitable organizations across the province by enhancing the entertainment experience for new and existing customers. So while OLG will maintain complete oversight and accountability, the private sector will play a greater role in the delivery of charitable bingo and gaming in Ontario.”
An Ottawa-based, Canadian-owned company, CBN has more than 1,500 employees worldwide, and provides services to more than 60 companies around the world. The company recently designed the new Bank of Canada polymer banknotes and is producing the new Canadian ePassport.
"Our government’s decision to keep the OLG head office in the Sault is ensuring we remain at the centre of the lottery and gaming industry and that we continue to play an important role in its modernization," David Orazietti, Sault MPP, said in the release.
