Our History

The BATC Community Development Corporation (BATC CDC) was established as part of the 2002 Gaming Framework Agreement (GFA) between the Government of Saskatchewan and the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN). This agreement created Community Development Corporations to manage funds generated by SIGA casinos located on reserves.

As the host Tribal Council for the Gold Eagle Casino, the Battlefords Agency Tribal Chiefs (BATC) formed the BATC CDC to support community growth and development.

Who we are

At BATC CDC, we’re dedicated to distributing funds fairly and equitably to eligible applicants in the communities we serve.

Our Mission

Our mission is to ensure these funds create meaningful opportunities and foster positive change across our designated beneficiary areas.
