The Battlefords Tribal Council has unveiled a $230 million [US$167 million] development plan that includes a new casino, a 3,000-seat arena, a new high school, affordable housing and expanded health services, describing the multi-year initiative as a major investment in the future of the Battlefords.
The project, called Gold Eagle Landing, was announced Wednesday at the Gold Eagle Lodge and outlined as one of the largest Indigenous-led developments in Saskatchewan. BTC says the plan will modernize education, housing, health care and recreation infrastructure while supporting long-term economic growth.
“These are not things that the chiefs want. These are things that children and the families need in this community,” Tribal Chief Wayne Semaganis said.
