Lands Unit seeks input

In addition to the engagement sessions, community members are also being encouraged to fill out the Land Use Planning Survey, which can be found on the MCK website and social media. The survey will remain open until Monday, January 26, at 4 p.m.

“It’s really important that everybody engages with this, because we’re planning for the future, we’re planning for our future housing, our commercial infrastructure, we don’t know what the outskirts of Kahnawake could look like and we’re trying to get that clear picture from the community of what they want common land to be used for,” Martin said. “We just really hope everybody comes out and gives their input.”

Community members who come to the engagement kiosk or participate in the focus groups will also be offered an incentive for their time in the form of Shop Kahnawake gift cards.

Space is limited in the focus group sessions, but spots are still available. Community members can sign up by contacting Martin directly at [email protected] or by phone at 450-638-8244.
