“I’m very happy with these candidates because they all have relevant experience when it comes to Kahnawà:ke lands," said Land Use Planning Coordinator Cole McComber. "Their knowledge and guidance will be a strong asset to the Land Use Planning Project.”
The MCK is developing a land use plan to address various land concerns. It was once said that we do not inherit the land from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. Ontionhóntsa, Ohén:ton Ia′tetewaká:nerak: Our Land, Their Future is the slogan for the Land Use Planning Project and will be the foundation on which the Steering Committee builds from.
The Committee will have its first meeting on Wednesday, December 21st.
