The Alberta government has revamped the list of areas where First Nations can spend their charitable gaming revenues. In an announcement on Friday, the government announced that this revenue can now be used for addictions treatment, community safety programs, cultural events, elders support, on-reserve housing, and infrastructure and life-skills training. Six First Nations in Alberta have casinos under construction or nearing final approval.
