The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke is inviting Kahnawa’kehró:non to participate in a Public Consultation of a draft Seven-Year Waste Management Plan (“the Plan”).

The Consultation will be overseen by a committee composed of representatives from different sectors of the community to ensure all the information necessary for the Draft Plan is provided. The committee will collect feedback from community members, groups and organizations on the subject.

Interested parties who would like to submit written comments during the Consultation period can do so by sending to:

• (By mail): Waste Management Department, Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke, P.O. Box 720, Kahnawà:ke J0L 1B0
