Major Deal for First Nation Communities

Ontario’s aboriginal communities are getting more than $3-billion over the next 25 years under a new deal to share revenue from Provincial lotteries and casinos.
The money will go toward community health care, education and
infrastructure.
The Chiefs of Ontario ratified the deal yesterday and in return for the
money, the chiefs gave up an ongoing lawsuit over Casino Rama.
The agreement ends three years of negotiations and follows a failed deal
which was voted down by Ontario chiefs last summer.
