Casino Rama Ruling Upheld

The Ontario Court of Appeal has dismissed a claim by a native group that they don't have to share Casino Rama revenues with other First Nations.

The Chippewas claim that under an original deal with the province to build Casino Rama on their land, they are entitled to a 35 per cent share of gambling profits.

More than 133 other First Nations fought the Chippewas claim and won a lower court ruling, which was upheld today by the Court of Appeal.
