Press Release

(Kahnawake – 7 Onerahtókha/April 2026)

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) is seeking three (3) individuals to serve on the Kahnawà:ke Cannabis Control Board (KCCB) and two (2) individuals to serve as alternates on the KCCB.

The MCK would like to make it clear that, as stated in a press release on March
