The Tsuu T’ina First Nation west of Calgary hopes that its $40-million Eaglestone Casino will generate enough revenue to solve the reserve’s housing shortage. Across the province of Alberta, several other Alberta First Nations are anticipating that casino developments will provide economic development opportunities. Alexis Whitecourt, Cold Lake and Stoney Nakoda will all build casinos in the next year following the lead of Enoch’s River Cree development on Edmonton’s western border.
