The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK), in collaboration with the Tobacco Working Group, wishes to update the community on the status of the proposed Kahnawà:ke Tobacco Law.
The first draft of the proposed Kahnawà:ke Tobacco Law was developed and approved by the community through the Community Decision Making and Review Process. Following, a Legal review on the proposed law revealed that eleven (11) points were changed and now require further discussion with the community.
In the coming weeks, community engagement opportunities will be offered to provide information on the eleven points and to collect any additional questions, comments, and feedback. This will be followed by an appearance on K1037 to report on the results of the kiosks, including any feedback.
Please note the following engagement events:
- Tuesday, July 29 – K1037 Tetewathá:ren update
- Thursday, August 14 – Kiosk (1 to 4pm) Kahnawà:ke Services Complex lobby
- Wednesday, August 20 – Kiosk (1 to 4pm) Kahnawà:ke Services Complex lobby
