Important – Emergency calls ONLY at this time

12/22/2021

The Kateri Memorial Hospital Centre (KMHC), the Public Safety Commission, and the Kahnawà:ke Mohawk Peacekeepers are asking community members to refrain from calling for information regarding COVID-19 testing, vaccines, travel restrictions, and general information that is NOT related to an emergency situation. This is a direct response to the influx of calls and requests for information, which are clogging phone lines and taking personnel away from other important tasks and calls.

“Unfortunately, due to the increase in confirmed positive cases of COVID-19, newly implemented measures, high demand for COVID-19 vaccines and testing, our offices are being flooded with calls for information, and due to staffing issues, we cannot answer every call or question,” said Commissioner of Public Safety, Lloyd Phillips. “We are asking Kahnawa’kehró:non to call in cases of EMERGENCIES ONLY and to monitor local media for COVID-19 information.”

We want to thank you for your patience and understanding.
