The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) wishes to announce that Heather Bauersfeld was appointed at a duly convened council meeting on Monday, November 4, 2024, by MCED 97/2024-2025, as a Commissioner on the Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission (KGC) for a one-year term.

Bauersfeld′s appointment, along with Donna McComber′s appointment, announced last week, allows the KGC to function again with a quorum. KGC meetings can now resume this week. Please note that the MCK intends to continue seeking additional commissioners.

The MCK also wishes to inform the community that it has rescinded the Mohawk Council Executive Decision (MCED) of the following appointments to the Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission:

The MCK wishes to thank the outgoing Commissioners for their time, commitment, and service.
