Building Success within First Nations Communities – CBJ.ca

The commitment of an enterprise to enhance the lives and prosperity of local citizens is the mark of an organization that truly cares about the well-being of the people and the communities it serves.  Founded on the basis of integrity, enhanced quality of life and strong business practices, The Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) was formed 20 years ago with a primary mandate of improving the lives of First Nations people through the creation of economic development opportunities within the gaming industry.

The seeds were first planted in June, 1995 when The Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations created SIGA, which was followed by its January, 1996 incorporation under The Non-profit Corporation Act of Saskatchewan as a charitable organization. The Province, through the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority, regulates SIGA, which in turn operates six casinos: Northern Lights Casino in Prince Albert; Gold Eagle Casino in North Battleford; Bear Claw Casino and Hotel in White Bear First Nations; Painted Hand Casino in Yorkton; Dakota Dunes Casino in Whitecap First Nation; and Living Sky Casino in Swift Current.
