Edmonton’s fire department has started providing fire service to the new casino on the Enoch Cree Nation for an annual fee of $1-million. The $178-million River Cree Resort and Casino is expected to open October 26 on the reserve just west of Edmonton. Four other First Nations, the Tsuu T’ina outside Calgary, the Stoney near Kananaskis, the Cold Lake First Nation in Cold Lake and the Alexis Nakoda First Nation in Whitecourt, have Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission approval to build casinos. Two groups from Hobbema, the Samson First Nation and the Louis Bull-Montana First Nation, are in the final steps of also winning approval.
