The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians board of directors announced today that it has approved a resolution requiring all five of its Kewadin casino locations to transition to smoke-free establishments. This decision reflects the tribe’s commitment to prioritizing the health and comfort of both casino visitors and employees and creating a more welcoming environment for all.

“The board’s decision to go smoke-free at our Kewadin casinos is another step on our broader path focusing on health and wellness of the communities we serve,” said Sault Tribe Chairman Austin Lowes. “We’ve been very focused as a tribal government on improving health, and this transition to smoke-free casinos is the right step forward that ensures we are creating a welcoming experience at Kewadin facilities that everyone can enjoy.”
