The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) wishes to inform the community that the Terms of Reference (TOR) for the MCK Ratitsénhaienhs have been approved by Council.
The Governance Advisory Team (GAT) completed its review of the Terms of Reference and proposed updates to the document. The draft Terms of Reference was made available online for a 30-day community review period from March 4 to April 4, 2026, during which community members were invited to submit feedback and comments. Opportunities to provide feedback and comments on the revised draft were also provided during presentations held at the Golden Age Club March 21 and April 2, 2026.
This document, as well as other governance documents, will be reviewed at the end of the current term and recommendations for changes will be made for the 2027-2030 elected Council to consider during their review at the beginning of their term. Following that, the TOR and other governance documents will be put out to the community for input and feedback.
The approved version of the TOR reflects the feedback received from community members, along with the GAT’s responses to that feedback.
