Our vision statement "Sharing Success" speaks to the concept of sharing the land or in today's terms, sharing resources. This value inspires SIGA to give back to the communities where we live and work, so that all benefit.

 

Building & Enriching Communities

Throughout the year, SIGA and its casinos support hundreds of organizations and events.  By embracing and implementing the teachings of our Elders, SIGA continues to foster its philanthropic commitment by giving back to its communities. This important aspiration is inherent in who we are  as a First Nations organization. Through community relations "Sharing Success" initiatives, SIGA will continue to build and enrich communities in Saskatchewan and as a result, everyone will benefit.

We look for opportunities that:

  • Improve the quality of life for the socially, physically and economically disadvantaged;
  • Demonstrate positive strategic relationships; and
  • Demonstrate good corporate citizenship in the communities served by SIGA.
