A band in New Brunswick is going ahead with plans to launch a casino despite objections from the province.

Woodstock Band Chief Len Tomah met with investors Nov. 6 to discuss financing the casino, which is due to open next spring, despite warnings from Provincial Minister of Finance Allan Maher that only the province can license gambling.

"That's a contentious and touchy area as far as the provincial government goes," said band councillor Ray Tomah.
