Canada’s Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke Signs Cannabis Agreement with Health Canada

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Health Canada to establish its own laws and regulations for the production and sale of cannabis within the MCK territory.

The MOU is the first such agreement between a First Nation and the Canadian government.

Tonya Perron, MCK lead on the cannabis file, called the agreement “an important step in the ongoing work to create a safe, well-regulated industry within the Territory.”
