The Kahnaw�:ke Environment Protection Office wishes to inform the community of environmental fieldwork occurring in the Tiower�:ton Territory. Work is scheduled to take place throughout the week of September 9th - 13th, 2019. Depending on weather, fieldwork may continue on Saturday, September 14th or carry over into the following week.

Consultants from Groupe Hemispheres will be on the Territory conducting a Brook Trout survey in the Doncaster River as well as Red Trout Lake and Lake Gagnon.

The inventory builds on a habitat characterization and local knowledge gathering campaign completed in 2018. Together this information will inform a Brook Trout Conservation Strategy.

The consultants will be accompanied by the Tiower�:ton Caretakers at all times while on the Territory.
