Gaming payments are back on track in this year's budget with a $61.5 million investment to support Indigenous-led social and economic initiatives in Saskatchewan.
Casino closures due to COVID-19 had previously impacted the payments and resulted in $80 million in emergency pandemic support over two years for First Nations and Métis organizations, in addition to community-based organizations to help offset the impact of the pandemic.
"Our province is committed to continued investment in Indigenous communities across the province that promotes economic development and supports the social well-being of Saskatchewan people," Minister Responsible for First Nations, Métis and Northern Affairs Don McMorris said. "Revenue from Saskatchewan gaming establishments support the hard work of our partners and benefits all residents.”

Other initiatives include justice-related, senior and youth programs, health projects and community infrastructure and maintenance.
