Keeping it green
What we do
- Encourage practice of the three Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle) and explore opportunities to further lessen our environmental impact
- Energy – Power saving (shutting off lights, powering off computers); upgrades to power management systems to reduce usage of power
- Use of environment friendly cleaning products
- Waste reduction, including:
- Recycling of paper, cardboard, bottles, plastic, and tin
- Recycling cooking oil (22,452 litres recycled in 2025)
- Water usage and water conservation practices
- Use of reusable cups and smaller coffee cups to support water conservation
- Reduction of single-use plastics. i.e. plastic straws, bottled water
- Food waste
- Donating or selling disposable assets
- Iron Mountain secure shredding
- Participation in Earth Day clean up projects and Earth Hour
- Fleet vehicle maintenance for fuel economy
KEEPING IT GREEN
SIGA recognizes our responsibility in being good stewards of the land and in promoting environmental sustainability. In keeping with our guiding principle Wîtaskêwin, living together on the land, we are formalizing our Environmental Strategy. We will continue to research best practices which will support the selection of the appropriate standards/objectives with the metrics that we can report on annually. For 2026-27 we will measure some of the current practices and ongoing activity that have been in place for some time. In doing this, we will engage with our teams across SIGA to work together to practise our 3 x R’s – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
WHAT WE DO
Reducing our Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Decreasing our Carbon Footprint:
SIGA is implementing several initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and decrease its carbon footprint. These include utility monitoring, HVAC replacement, and LED lighting replacement. Additionally, SIGA has installed EV chargers at all casino locations. Year over year, we are seeing continued growth in EV charger usage across all of our sites, with our Gold Eagle Casino location leading as the busiest hub for electric vehicle charging. From June 2025 to June 2026, SIGA’s EV chargers helped avoid 211,609 kg of greenhouse gas emissions — the equivalent of planting 5,426 trees and letting them grow for a decade.
Reuse: SIGA Used Cooking Oil Recycling Program
- In 2025, SIGA recycled 22,452 litres of used oil. This data is collected through the Redux Sustainability report. Used oil is cleaned and repurposed and used in pet food, animal feed, fertilizers, soaps, lubricants, and biofuel.
- Recycling used cooking oil aids in reducing greenhouse emissions and provides a clean sustainable solution that supports the food chain and preserves the environment.
Recycle: SIGA Paper Utilization and Biodegradable Products
SIGA actively recycles paper by shredding and recycling it. The goal is to preserve trees by minimizing paper usage. The organization monitors paper utilization through the Iron Mountain Report on paper recycling.
In addition, all SIGA casinos prioritize biodegradable products over plastic. Using biodegradable products in food and beverage services offers several environmental benefits: reducing plastic waste, renewable resources, and composability (the ability to break down naturally). By using biodegradable products, we keep plastics out of landfills, where they can take centuries to decompose.
Our Community Investment Program will continue to support sustainable and environmentally friendly initiatives:
- Redvers Fire and Rescue – Redvers Fire & Rescue Steak Night
- First Nations Power Authority – 9th Annual Indigenous Cleaner Energy Forum
- SOS Trees – Arbor Week
- North Saskatchewan River Basin Council Inc – Notice Nature
- The Saskatchewan First Nations Water Association – The SFNWA Conference & Trade Show
Recycle: SIGA Electronics Program
We’ve recently obtained approval from SLGA to use the Electronics Recycling Association (ERA) for the recycling of old and obsolete slot parts and electronics. This initiative extends to a wide array of electronic items such as monitors/TVs, printers, power supplies, bill validators, digital player panels, wiring harnesses, and computers.
In the last year, we recycled 13,000 lbs of e-waste (monitors, power supplies, cabling, button panels, etc.)
Recycle: Metal Program
We have a system for recycling scrap metal, which involves a dedicated bin for collection. This bin accommodates various items ranging from nuts and bolts to brackets, housings, and frames or various scrap metal.
In the last year, we recycled:
- 1 pallet of scrap metal
- 130,000 lbs of slot machines went to Inland Steel for scrap metal recycling
