Kahnawake Fish Health Study - Information Session

12/12/2022

The Kahnawà:ke Environment Protection Office (KEPO) will be conducting a study on fish health this winter. KEPO is looking to collaborate with ice-fishing community members to collect samples for analysis. The upcoming study will follow up on previous works in 1997 and 2010.

KEPO is inviting community members interested in Kahnawà:ke fish health –including those interested in contributing fish samples to the study—to join us for an information session and discussion at the Golden Age Club on Wednesday, December 14th, from 6-8pm. Refreshments will be served.

Discussion items will include:

• Review of knowledge of fish health
• Previous fish health studies in Kahnawà:ke
• Joint development of methods in the upcoming study 
• Expectations for upcoming study

For questions about the upcoming study on fish health in Kahnawà:ke or to participate in fish sample collection, please contact KEPO at 450-635-0600 or environmentprotection@mck.ca.
