Millbrook, Paqtnkek, We’koqoma’q, Glooscap and Annapolis Valley form Indigenous Gaming Partners group

Five Mi’kmaw communities in Nova Scotia have come together to enter the world of casino gaming after successfully acquiring four casinos in Alberta.

The communities – Millbrook, Paqtnkek, We’koqoma’q, Glooscap and Annapolis Valley — purchased Pure Canadian Gaming, which operates casinos in Edmonton, Calgary and Lethbridge.

The newly formed collective, Indigenous Gaming Partners (IGP), aims to generate financial independence for each of the five Mi’kmaw communities involved.
