Three SIGA run casinos are now offering EV charging stations to their casino guests and Phase 2 of their plan will see EV chargers installed at the remainder of SIGA’s seven casinos in the next 12 months.

The SaskPower Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program provided funding for eligible businesses or organizations reimbursed up to 75 per cent of eligible costs to a maximum of $200,000 on the construction of up to 20 fast charging stations.

Teh EV charging stations are available at Painted Hand Casino, Northern Lights Casino, and Gold Eagle Casino.

Director of SIGA Operations Daniel Morin says, “It is important to us to operate in an environmentally sustainable manner and build that into our operational plans going forward, staying true to SIGA’s guiding principle of Witaskêwin, which means living together on the land.”

The ChargePoint Level 3 charging station provides up to 125-Kilowatts of electric charging capacity or approximately 200 kilometres of range with a 30-minute charge time.
