Kahnawà:ke Tobacco Law Engagement Session
Written by Jeremy Zafran on 3 October 2022
The first engagement session for the proposed Kahnawà:ke Tobacco Law will take place at the Golden Age Club this coming Wednesday, October 5th, from 12pm (noon) until 4pm. Although the draft law was entirely reviewed and consensus reached during the Community Decision Making Process (CDMP) hearings back in 2015/2016, there are several legal issues that need to be addressed in the sections of the draft law under review. Ratsénhaienhs Cody Diabo, who is the lead on this file on behalf of the MCK says it’s time for interested residents to step forward to give their input on the proposed law. The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke is making the updated draft of the proposed law available to kickstart community engagement. This updated draft focuses solely on the highlighted sections of the draft law which can be viewed on the Kahnawà:ke Tobacco Law page on the KLCC website at www.kahnawakemakingdecisions.com. Another engagement session is scheduled for Wednesday, October 26th, from 3pm to 6pm. at the Golden Age Club
