Michigan’s Upper Peninsula Casinos Baraga and Marquette Will Provide Healthier Environments
Big news—Ojibwa Casino Baraga and Marquette are officially going smokefree and vape-free March 24, 2025! This change applies to all indoor areas of these venues, including all casino venues, restaurants, and the hotel and will protect thousands of staff and customers.
Ojibwa Casino shared in their announcement:
“This decision underscores our commitment to providing a healthier, more comfortable environment for all guests and team members…The health benefits of smoke-free facilities are well-documented, ranging from improved air quality to a significant reduction in exposure to secondhand smoke, which can cause serious health risks. This initiative reflects Ojibwa Casinos’ dedication to the well-being of all who visit or work at the properties.”
This policy change means that most Tribal casino hospitality jobs in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula will now be in a safe, smokefree air environment thanks to the sovereign leadership of Tribal gaming leaders.
