Ca t he province is rolling the Dice for a third time in a bid to put a native run Casino in the Brandon area. The latest Gamble which has infuriated Brand ones mayor involves building the Casino on land just outside the wheat City in Exchange for a Promise to bring fresh drinking water to residents of the adjacent Rural municipality. I feel its a slap in the face to Brandon mayor Dave Burgess said shortly after hearing the news Friday. To have it right beside our Border came As a Surprise to me. I did not think the province would take that step. Through plebiscites Brandon residents have twice rejected having a first nations Casino built downtown. But Brandon chamber of Commerce president Ron Cumming disagreed with the mayor. The City had an Opportunity and they dropped the Ball Cumming said. Now Brandon wont get any of the extra Revenue that would have come to the City. Its a lost Opportunity. Attorney general Dave Chomiak minister responsible for the gaming control act and Assembly of Manitoba chiefs grand chief Ron Evans said the new Casino will be built on 500 acres of farm land at the Northwest Corner of the trans Canada Highway and Highway 10 Junction a Coin toss outside Brandon. Chomiak and Evans said the project will create hundreds of jobs for aboriginal people and profits will be split evenly among Manitoba ass 64 first nation communities. The Casino is expected to open in about two years. Aboriginal leaders said the project would not have been possible without the unanimous approval of the Rural municipality of Elton Council which will be the Home of the Casino and proposed recreational site. Reeve Jon Burton said the decision to approve the project in july came Down to one thing water. Burton said the municipality of 1,400 residents has no collective source of clean drinking water for Home and livestock use. Water comes from Wells dugouts or is trucked in. With the new Casino the Rural municipality will get Access to water from a new multimillion Dollar treatment Plant to be built in the neighbouring pm of Whitehead. Fresh water had been the sticking Point in negotiations As the City of Brandon has a Long standing policy of not extending water and sewer services beyond its Boundary. first nation chief Norman Bone one of three chiefs behind the project said More work has to be done on binding agreements and the casinos design. The other bands directly involved Are rolling River and first nations. Burton said the bands have already reached an agreement to buy the land which has been used to grow canola from a local Farmer.
