The Mosquito Grizzly Bear’s Head Lean Man (MGBHLM) First Nation is relocating and revitalizing the Gold Eagle Casino, a project estimated to cost $100 million, with $60 million coming from the First Nation itself. The new facility will be located off Highway 16 West, south of Riverview, after a purchase from the City of North Battleford.

The project is expected to create 350 construction jobs and 400 long-term positions, with anticipated millions in tourism revenue and hundreds of thousands of annual guests.
