The Kahnawà:ke Legislative Coordinating Commission (KLCC)  would like to advise Kahnawa’kehró:non that the First Hearing of the Kahnawà:ke Membership Law has been tentatively scheduled for Tuesday 7, Onerahtókha/April 2015.

The proposal to amend the law entered the Community Decision Making Process (CDMP) consultation phase in 2012. On 30, Tsothohrkó:wa/January 2013, consensus was reached to amend the law.

This was followed by numerous meetings to determine purpose, scope and intent of the amendments.

A report on the feedback received is being compiled and will be made available shortly.

All relevant documents regarding the proposed amendments are available for viewing at the KLCC website at www.kahnawakemakingdecisions.com.
