Community Engagement: Father Lajoie Issue

Approximately 40-50 community members turned out last night at the Moose Lodge to speak with elected members of the Mohawk Council of Kahnàwake on the Father Lajoie issue. Tonya Perron was one of the elected officials taking part. She says there was a variety of opinions and thoughts expressed during the dialogue with the council. There is a survey to fill out on the premises which takes approximately 5 minutes to fill out. It will be made available on-line.  Perron says it will be at a month before any decision is made:

“It’s a very sensitive issue, so it’s not something that can be rushed. I know that maybe some people prefer that the decision be made right here right now or even months before, but as a Council Table we feel that it is important to enter into that dialogue, engagement with the community and have some feedback in order to guide us.”

A second session will be held this coming Saturday between the hours of 11am and 2pm at the Moose Lodge.
