The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) wishes to inform the community that Ohén:ton Í:rate ne Ratitsénhaienhs Cody Diabo will be traveling today to New York City to participate in the inauguration ceremony for the Champlain Hudson Power Express (U.S. side of the Hertel-New York Interconnection line).
Diabo will represent Kahnawà:ke’s role in the partnership between the MCK and Hydro-Québec, marking a continued step forward in the joint ownership of the Hertel-New York Interconnection Line. The inauguration signifies the completion of a major clean energy infrastructure project for New York City and represents a historic milestone, in shared ownership of a transmission infrastructure with a First Nation.
In addition, New York State Governor Kathy Hochul, among other dignitaries, will be present. Diabo is expected to return to the office the day following the inauguration ceremony.
