The name and who runs it

In 2003, Swift Current citizens voted 55% in favour of casino development in their city. Living Sky Casino opened in December 2008, just off the Trans-Canada Highway, and serves southwest Saskatchewan. The name Living Sky relates to the northern lights and the stars, and to their connection with past generations of First Nations ancestry.

SIGA lists the casino in Swift Current with Nekaneet First Nation. The Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority was established in 1995 as a First Nations non-profit and operates seven casinos in the province. It reinvests all net proceeds in Saskatchewan. Net profits from the seven are divided 50% to the First Nations Trust, 25% to Community Development Corporations and 25% to the Government of Saskatchewan's General Revenue Fund.

Living Sky Casino has 122 employees on its payroll, and 16% of them are First Nations.
