The Mohawk Council of Kahnawake Office of the Council of Chiefs (OCC) wishes to inform Kahnawakehronon that the Community Meeting dates have been set for 2024 and that there is a planned format change to how they will be moderated.
Further to an evaluation of previous Community meetings and feedback from concerned community members, the Ratitsenhaienhs have determined that a new meeting format is essential to increase their effectiveness. This new format will encourage respectful dialogue and ensure that the meetings remain a space that is both productive and safe for all.
