Engagement session for proposed Kahnawake Tobacco Law on Wednesday

10/25/2022

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) wishes to inform the community that the second engagement session for the proposed Kahnawà:ke Tobacco Law will take place at the Golden Age Club this Wednesday, October 26th, from 3pm to 6pm.

Although the draft law was reviewed in its entirety and consensus was reached for each original section during the Community Decision Making Process (CDMP) hearings in 2015-2016, there are several sections that need to be addressed in terms of legal issues and to provide the necessary consistency with other laws.

The updated draft of the proposed Law has been made available to the community to better facilitate community engagement. This updated draft focuses solely on the highlighted sections of the draft Law (which can be viewed on the Kahnawà:ke Tobacco Law page on the Kahnawà:ke Legislative Coordinating Commission website at www.kahnawakemakingdecisions.com).
