THE FEDERATION OF SASKATCHEWAN INDIAN NATIONS (FSIN)
has a new 25-year gaming agreement with the province. It provides the First Nations organization exclusive rights over the next three years to propose a casino in Saskatoon. “It’s a work in progress,” FSIN Chief Perry Bellegarde. “It’s up to the SIGA (Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority) board now. Our objective was to get a long-term political agreement between the province of Saskatchewan and the FSIN. We’ve secured that and it will help facilitate a lot of developments.”
