Manitoba Chiefs in Huge Lawsuit Against Province

The lawsuit didn’t come without a fair warning. In April of this year, Derek Nepinak, Dumas’ predecessor, was already openly talking about taking legal action against the province after officials denied approvals to open new gaming businesses in Winnipeg. Nepinak said, “Winnipeg is the gaming market in Manitoba and for us to be shoved aside and kept out of the prime gaming market is unjust. It’s in bad faith and we aren’t going to stand for that. We are upping the stakes by looking at our legal options and moving from there.”
