MCK quashes further movement on Tiower�:ton Road Designation

10/29/2018

The Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke (MCK) wishes to advise the community that Chief & Council have quashed any further movement on the issue of Road Designation in Tiower�:ton.

The decision, which was unanimous, was made at this morning�s duly-convened Council meeting.

The issue was raised by Rats�nhaienhs Clinton Phillips, who holds the lead on the Lands Portfolio, due to some misinformation that had been circulating throughout the community regarding the potential designation of the main road through Tiower�:ton as  a �provincial road.�

The Tiower�:ton Committee had voted to bring a proposal to Chief & Council as part of their mandate to address safety issues on the main road. As part of the process, the recommendation would have been brought to Chief & Council for an official Request for Decision.

�Had the process concluded with a Request for Decision to Council, this would have been the outcome as well,� stated Rats�nhaienhs Phillips. �To avoid any wasted time from the technical level, we are advising the community on Council�s decision immediately.�
