Land Study Underway

06/09/2009

The Mohawk Council of Kahnaw�:ke wishes to inform the community that the Quebec Ministry of Transport has proceeded with different studies on the lands that are in the process of being transferred to Kahnaw�:ke. The lands referred to are those that Quebec agreed to repatriate in June 2008 as the first step in their involvement in the Seigneury of Sault St. Louis grievance.

This includes lands along Highway 30 near the junction of Route 207 and the area at the end of the Old Chateauguay Road.

This will include soil and water studies, which will include the gathering of samples. Some of this equipment is in place and resembles a pump mechanism. This is being done to ensure that the lands are useable and safe.

The studies are expected to be completed by July.
