Snuneymuxw’s PDG completes acquisition of River Rock Casino Resort, the largest resort in Western Canada.Snuneymuxw (Nanaimo), &nbsp;B.C. (June 16, 2026) – Petroglyph Development Group Ltd. (PDG), a wholly owned corporation of Snuneymuxw First Nation (Snuneymuxw), announced today the successful closing of the sale of River Rock Casino Resort (River Rock), in Richmond, B.C., to a limited partnership owned by PDG and Musqueam Capital Corporation (MCC). With the acquisition of River Rock, Western Canada's largest casino resort, PDG becomes the largest First Nation-owned casino operator in Canada by revenue and is, through its ownership of the Courtyard by Marriott Nanaimo and now the River Rock Casino Resort, the country's leading Indigenous hospitality operator. The closing follows PDG’s earlier acquisitions of Casino Nanaimo, Elements Casino Victoria, Chances Maple Ridge and Great Canadian Casino Vancouver from Great Canadian Entertainment.“Today is a historic day for Snuneymuxw and the Canadian gaming and hospitality industry,” said Chief Mike Wyse, Xum'silum, Snuneymuxw First Nation. “With the closing of the River Rock acquisition, we are taking combined ownership of the most recognized gaming destination in British Columbia, and cementing Snuneymuxw, through PDG, as a leading force in gaming in this province and the largest First Nation-owned casino and hospitality operator in Canada. This is the result of generations of work by our people to build a strong and self-determined future. We begin this new chapter on Musqueam territory with deep respect.”PDG and MCC, the wholly owned corporation of Musqueam Indian Band (Musqueam), have completed a partnership agreement establishing shared ownership over the operations of River Rock, with MCC holding a minority ownership interest and PDG holding a majority ownership interest. PDG, through its subsidiary Lahal Casino Management LP, will also operate the casino and hotel.Since opening in 2004, River Rock has established itself as the largest casino resort in Western Canada. Situated along the Fraser River, the property offers more than 1,200 slot machines and electronic table games, over 80 live table games, a live racebook, a poker room, nearly 400 hotel rooms, a 1,000-person theatre, a marina, a full-service spa and 10 food and beverage venues. Among them is Gordon Ramsay Steak, the first Canadian fine-dining restaurant from the Michelin-starred chef and television personality. For two decades, River Rock has set the benchmark for gaming, hospitality and entertainment in Metro Vancouver."These achievements did not happen by chance. They are the result of generations of preparation, disciplined leadership and a commitment to building a strong economic foundation," said Erralyn Joseph, Hun’qwii’thia, President of the PDG Board of Directors. “As a Board, we have worked to ensure PDG is ready to meet moments like this when they arise. We will continue to pursue sustainable economic development opportunities that align with our values, strengthen our Nation and create lasting prosperity for our people.”“Adding this iconic property to PDG’s portfolio strengthens our position and expands our ability to create long-term value for Snuneymuxw,” said Ian Simpson, Yaatqumtun, Chief Executive Officer of PDG. “As the owner of the 172-room Courtyard by Marriott Nanaimo and the 396-room River Rock Casino Resort, Snuneymuxw is now also positioned as Canada's leading Indigenous hospitality operator.”Today’s successful acquisition marks another significant step toward economic independence for Snuneymuxw and Musqueam. The sustainable revenues these properties generate provide the Nations with the resources to invest in community priorities, uphold Nation values and build lasting prosperity for generations to come.“River Rock Casino Resort is one of the most successful and iconic gaming and hospitality destinations in Canada,” said Matt Anfinson, CEO, Great Canadian Entertainment. &nbsp;“We have full confidence in PDG’s and MCC’s collective leadership and long-term vision for River Rock and the community it serves. We look forward to watching River Rock and its team members continuing to thrive while contributing to the economic success of the Snuneymuxw First Nation and Musqueam Indian Band.”-30-About Snuneymuxw First NationSnuneymuxw is a vibrant First Nation of the Coast Salish People, located in the centre of Coast Salish territory on the eastern coast of Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and the Fraser River.

SNUNEYMUXW FIRST NATION ACQUIRES FULL OWNERSHIP OF COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT NANAIMO

stlilnup, Snuneymuxw (Nanaimo, B.C.) – Snuneymuxw First Nation is proud to announce the name and logo for The Village at stlilnup, an oceanfront village of shops and services owned and operated by Snuneymuxw First Nation (SFN) and SFN’s economic development arm, Petroglyph Development Group (PDG). Located just steps from the Departure Bay Ferry terminal, this magnificent location is where Snuneymuxw origin unfolds, where Snuneymuxw’s relationship with the land and sea began and where the teachings that guide the Nation are originally rooted. The Village at stlilnup is located on a part of the historic Suneymuxw village of stlilnup. The neighbouring bay’s deep waters sustained the community since the first family and the name honours this relationship. The Village at stlilnup is designed to be a community hub that welcomes locals and visitors to Snuneymuxw, honouring its roots as an ancient place of arrival. “Since the time of the first families, stlilnup has been a place of gathering and community for Snuneymuxw,” said Chief Mike Wyse, Xum'silum, Snuneymuxw First Nation. “Restoring Snuneymuxw presence here is part of our Nation’s work to rebuild our economy while honouring the places that have sustained our people, and all people who live within our shared communities. The name stlilnup reminds us that our future prosperity continues to be rooted in our lands, history and snawaylth.” Snuneymuxw teachings tell of how the first Ancestors brought forward stlilnup as one of the first three villages for the Nation. These villages are interconnected to the origins of the Snuneymuxw People and are key pillars of the sophisticated Snuneymuxw economic, legal, social and cultural systems. These sacred teachings guide development and build a strong Snuneymuxw Nation. When the First Snuneymuxw Ancestors came from xaals (the Creator) – when the sky world touched down upon Snuneymuxw Land – they met Mother Earth. Snuneymuxw land inherently became sacred, and the relationship began. It was a meeting of spirit and soil. Of breath and earth. Of purpose and place.With this connection came a responsibility to live in balance, to honour all relatives and to give the highest expression of one’s being for the good of the whole. The Lands at stlilnup are inseparable from these origin teachings. stlilnup is a place of arrival, instruction and memory. These memories and teachings live on through the Village at stlilnup logo created by Snuneymuxw artist Elliot White-Hill, Kwulasultun. In the artwork, the Sun is honoured. In stories shared by the artist’s late great-grandmother, Dr. Ellen White, Kwulasulwut, the Sun is described as our grandfather, who once visited each house across all the Snuneymuxw villages each day, until he was kidnapped by Seagull. Raven and other beings came together to free him, after which he rose to live in the sky. Owned and operated by SFN and PDG, The Village at stlilnup represents a key milestone in Snuneymuxw First Nation’s sustainable economic development strategy. PDG manages a diverse portfolio of businesses that build prosperity while honouring Snuneymuxw Ancestors, the Land and future generations. “Restoring Snuneymuxw presence at stlilnup is powerful,” said Erralyn Joseph, President of Petroglyph Development Group (PDG). “It contributes to unlocking Snuneymuxw’s economic potential in a transformative way. Projects like this help renew the cycle of prosperity that flows from our lands back to our people, ultimately contributing to a strong economy that benefits our Nation and the local communities we serve.” “The name and logo ground this beautiful new development in deep meaning,” said Ian Simpson, Yaatqumtun, Chief Executive Officer of PDG. “The name stlilnup honours our village, and the artwork shares teachings and stories connected to the land. As we prepare for the future of this site, it was important that the voices of past generations help light the path forward.” The project builds on PDG’s ongoing work to drive economic growth across Snuneymuxw territory, Vancouver Island and beyond. Further details about tenants and offerings at The Village at stlilnup will be announced in the coming months. The Village is planned to open in summer 2026.
