03/15/2011

The Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke (MCK) is issuing an open letter to the community to help clarify and correct misinformation circulating in regard to the Mercier Bridge repair works.

�The primary responsibility of the MCK is to protect the rights and interests of all workers in Kahnaw�:ke, to ensure all have an equal opportunity to work on the bridge, and to ensure that all outside entities respect the spirit and intent of the 1932 Order-In-Council issued by the Government of Canada that requires workers from Kahnaw�:ke be given priority for all bridge works,� says the MCK in the letter.

The letter is available for viewing at www.kahnawake.com. As well, copies will be distributed at tonight�s Winter Community Meeting. Copies will also be available upon request at the reception of the MCK�s main offices.
