Today, in a ceremony at Casino Regina, SaskGaming permanently raised the Treaty 4 and Métis Nation flags as symbols of its commitment to truth and reconciliation.
Former File Hills Qu'Appelle Tribal Chief Edmund Bellegarde, Métis Nation-Saskatchewan representative Tyler Gervais and the Red Dog Drum Group helped lead the event, which came together under the guidance of Piapot First Nation Elder Harry Francis.
"Raising these flags highlights the contributions of First Nations and Métis people in Saskatchewan and the importance of meaningful reconciliation," Minister Responsible for SaskGaming Don Morgan said. "Casino Regina is now the first provincial Crown building to hold a formal flag installation ceremony, which is appropriate given SaskGaming's commitment to Indigenous employment and communities."
Ensuring the Treaty 4 and Métis Nation flags are lasting fixtures at Casino Regina aligns with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Call to Action 57, which is focused on educating public servants on the history of Indigenous peoples in Canada. It also supports Saskatchewan's Growth Plan initiatives relating to Indigenous engagement and participation in the labour force, and the corporation's dedication to Indigenous employment, wellness, learning, engagement, procurement and community investment opportunities.
"SaskGaming's mandate is firmly rooted in supporting First Nations and Métis communities throughout this province. It drives our success and informs how we do business," SaskGaming President and CEO Susan Flett said. "We want these flags to demonstrate reconciliation in action and make a resounding statement that everyone is welcomed and supported here."
A flag raising ceremony will be conducted at Casino Moose Jaw at a later date.
"Installing the Treaty 4 flag honours our treaty relationship and demonstrates respect to First Nations across Saskatchewan," Former Chief Bellegarde said. "SaskGaming and Casino Regina are walking the path of reconciliation, and this is a positive development."
"Seeing the Métis Nation flag fly high above Casino Regina acknowledges and honours not only the history, but as well as our contributions in the development of Saskatchewan," Métis citizen of Western Region III Gervais said. "These actions are a positive movement toward reconciliation."
SaskGaming boasts the highest rate of Indigenous representation among the province's Crown sector at approximately 40 per cent. It also pays 50 per cent of its net income to the General Revenue Fund in support of the First Nations Trust, Community Initiatives Fund and Clarence Campeau Development Fund, and has entered into a historic partnership with the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority to deliver online gaming and single-event sports betting.
