4/11/2018

The Kahnawà:ke Legislative Coordinating Commission (KLCC) wishes to advise the community that the draft Kahnawà:ke Cannabis Control Law is now posted for viewing on the KLCC website (www.kahnawakemakingdecisions.com) and has now entered the 30-day Feedback Period, which will conclude on Friday, 11 Onerahtohkó:wa/May 2018.

Feedback can be submitted in writing or by telephone to Ietsénhaienhs Rhonda Kirby, the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke Technician Dennis Diabo, or by completing the Feedback Form online on the KLCC website.

The KLCC had received two separate proposals for a legislation (from community member Jeremiah Johnson and the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke) in October 2017. By process, the KLCC submitted a request for categorization to Chief & Council and, on 6 Kentenhkó:wa/November 2017, it was announced that the proposed legislation was confirmed as a ‘Type II’ law (laws that are regulatory in nature) in the Community Decision Making Process.  

All relevant documents can be viewed on the KLCC website.
