The Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke wishes to inform the community that Chief Kahsennenhawe Sky-Deer is seeking public opinion on the idea of approaching local social clubs, bars and restaurants to possibly set aside a few days per month to provide a smoke free environment for clients who might otherwise not attend these establishments.

A seven question online survey is available to complete until Tuesday March 15th at midnight. In addition, Chief Sky-Deer will be hosting a kiosk where people can complete the survey in person on Thursday, March 3rd from noon to 4pm at the Kahnaw�:ke Services Complex lobby. She held a kiosk today (March 1) from noon-4pm.

"Many community members are adopting healthier lifestyles, attested to by the number of health clubs, exercise programs and healthier food options available at restaurants in and around Kahnaw�:ke," said Chief Sky-Deer. "Since I have been in Council, I have heard many people complain that they refuse to go to the local clubs and certain bars and restaurants in the community because of the smoke.�

Results from the survey will be made available to the establishments first, then the community once compiled.
