Great Canadian Entertainment has announced the sale of another B.C. casino, this time to a different First Nations Group.
A consortium group of certain communities from the Ts’elxwéyeqw Tribe, through an entity affiliated with Ts’elxwéyeqw Tribe Management Inc., announced today they were purchasing Elements Casino Chilliwack from Great Canadian Entertainment.
Earlier this month, Snuneymuxw First Nation announced it had acquired two British Columbia casinos from Great Canadian Entertainment – River Rock Casino Resort and Chances Maple Ridge.
Series of B.C. Casino Sales
A deal announced in June saw Great Canadian Entertainment sell Casino Nanaimo on Vancouver Island to Petroglyph Development Group Ltd. (PDG), a wholly owned corporation of the Snuneymuxw First Nation. And in September, the company announced it was selling Elements Casino Victoria to PDG.
Element Casino Chilliwack is based in the Fraser Valley region of British Columbia, and features over 300 slots, live and electronic table games, bingo, dining, live entertainment and more.
The Ts’elxwéyeqw Tribe represents seven First Nation communities and are the First People of the Chilliwack River watershed.
Strengthening Communities
“This purchase marks an exciting milestone for our Nations and for the entire territory,” said Chief David Jimmie, Chief of Squiala First Nation and President of Ts’elxwéyeqw Tribe Management Ltd. “By coming together in partnership, we are not only investing in a strong business opportunity, but also in the future of our people.
“The revenues generated through this acquisition will help strengthen our communities, create new opportunities, and ensure our Nations continue to play a leading role in the local economy. Additionally, we believe that local community-based ownership of Elements Casino Chilliwack will further strengthen the broader Fraser Valley community and economy.
“It’s a proud moment that reflects how Indigenous leadership and collaboration can build a stronger, more inclusive future for everyone.”
300 Slots
Great Canadian Entertainment is a gaming and entertainment company with operations in 23 cities across the country.
“We have had the privilege of being part of the Chilliwack community since we opened Elements Casino Chilliwack in 2012, and we believe that under the Ts’elxwéyeqw Group’s stewardship, the business will begin an exciting new chapter,” said Matt Anfinson, CEO, Great Canadian Entertainment. “We look forward to the closing and then working with the Ts’elxwéyeqw Group team during the transition period.”
