5-Oct-05. Casino approval sets stage for clash. Calgary Herald, A1.

Construction will soon begin on the planned $30-million First Nation casino to be built on Tsuu T’ina land at 37th Street and Glenmore Trail. Tuesday’s decision by the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission to move the band’s application to the final stage of the licencing process means the facility should be completed within two years. The decision sets up what could become a fight with the City of Calgary, which wants a deal for a ring-road through Tsuu T’ina land before construction proceeds.
