Public Safety puts hold on Hawkers and Peddlers permits

08/21/2019

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) wishes to inform the community that the Public Safety Unit has put a hold on Hawkers & Peddlers permits, effective immediately.

As stated last week, it has become clear that the Hawkers & Peddlers criteria needs to be reviewed and updated. Criteria for these permits must meet the current needs in order for Kahnawa’kehró:non to have confidence that anyone engaging in door-to-door sales meets all of our requirements to ensure best practices.

“Currently, there are no active Hawkers & Peddlers permits in circulation, which should simplify matters” said Commissioner of Public Safety Lloyd Phillips. “We will begin the process to update our processes in the very near future.”

Please note that the Permits page on the MCK website has also been updated.
