18-Aug-05. Native casino will be a smokers’ haven. Calgary Herald, A4.

The Roseau River First Nation in Manitoba is set to open a $1-million centre on Friday that will offer bingo halls and 20 video lottery terminals. Manitoba’s anti-smoking law does not apply to aboriginal reserves and may be an advantage in attracting patrons. Non-native bar owners in the province are expressing anger over the unequal application of the smoking law.
