Everyone’s A Winner When You Give Back To The Community

Giving back to your community does so much to help those in need and contribute to the common good.

The Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) is a non-profit organization that returns all profit to Saskatchewan communities.  Through the operation of seven First Nation gaming entertainment destinations, SIGA is strengthening the lives of First Nation people through employment, economic growth, and positive community relations.

The History

On June 10, 1995, the “FSIN First Nation Gaming Act” became a reality and a management body was created.

The Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority is 100% First Nation-owned and-operated. Since 1996, SIGA has been incorporated under the Non-Profit Corporation Act of Saskatchewan, designated as a charitable corporation with 100% of profits being returned to their beneficiaries.

In the early 90s, the 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan established SIGA as a means to create opportunity. From their very humble beginnings to a multi-million dollar business employing over 1,900 people, SIGA is a success story that demonstrates the results of a shared vision of past Elders and leaders to develop a means of long-term sustainable economic development opportunities for First Nation people.

Their mandate is to:

  1. Create First Nation employment and focus on employee development;
  2. Spur First Nation economic development through the development of the gaming industry;
  3. Maximize earnings to First Nation people.

One Of A Kind

SIGA is the only First Nation-owned and-operated gaming business that is also a non-profit company, distributing all profits back to the communities where they live and work.

They help to build stronger, more vibrant communities through profit-sharing and community investment.

100% of profits are returned to Saskatchewan communities with 50% to the First Nations Trust, 25% to Community Development Corporations, and 25% to the province’s General Revenue Fund.

On top of this, SIGA invests $1.3 million annually through their community investment program to fund hundreds of charitable events and initiatives each year.

SIGA volunteers support many of these events, giving their time and passion to the causes that SIGA supports.

Last year alone, 29% of SIGA employees (about 1,900) volunteered with the company.
