Update on dismantlement of Hydro-Qu�bec Line 2

10/23/2019

The Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke (MCK) wishes to advise the community on developments regarding the dismantlement of Hydro-Qu�bec�s Line 2, which passes through the Territory. It is expected that the line will be dismantled within the next two (2) years.

Once the line is removed, Hydro-Qu�bec has agreed to deregister the �perpetual servitudes� from each of the affected lots. This means that affected lots will be free from any towers, overhanging wires, or rights-of-way and will fully revert to the owners.

As preparations to remove the towers are underway, efforts are being made to ensure that Kahnaw�:ke entrepreneurs have access to opportunities to conduct some of the work. Hydro-Qu�bec, in collaboration with Tewatohnhi�saktha and the Kahnaw�:ke Labor Office, is planning an information session on Wednesday, 20 Kentenhk�:wa/ November to present information about requirements, prerequisites and mandatory certifications needed to prepare a bid.

The session will take place at the Host Hotel. Additional details will be forthcoming.
