Cranbroook (Ktunaxa Nation)

The Ktunaxa Nation uses its share of provincial gaming revenue from the St. Eugene Golf Resort and Casino (also known as the Casino of the Rockies) to give back to the community and enhance the award-winning resort, which was developed in partnership with Samson Cree and Mnjikaning First Nations, which opened in 2000.
