The name and who runs it

In 2003, Swift Current citizens voted 55% in favour of casino development in their city. Living Sky Casino has served southwest Saskatchewan since it opened in December 2008, a short way off the Trans-Canada Highway. The name Living Sky points to the stars and the northern lights, and to their tie 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. All net proceeds are reinvested within Saskatchewan. Net profits of the seven split three ways: First Nations Trust 50%, Community Development Corporations 25%, provincial government's General Revenue Fund 25%.

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