While June 1st has been announced as a possible date for a gradual reopening of business, it must be made clear that this is ONLY TENTATIVE and could be revised according to available health information and other factors.
“We mandated an Economic advisory team to provide us with their perspective, then collaborated with the health and safety side to find a proper balance,” said Commissioner of Public Safety Lloyd Phillips on behalf of the Task Force. “Health will always be the top priority but we also understand the need to get our economy going. We will continue to work with specific industries to get them open as quickly and safely as possible.”
The Reopening of Kahnawà:ke Economy package is a comprehensive set of documents that ALL Kahnawà:ke business owners need to become familiar with to support opening in a safe and organized manner. It includes information specific to all types of businesses, including retail, manufacturing, construction, childcare and home childcare sectors, restaurants and the food processing industry.
The easy to access documents include information on sanitary standards, physical distancing, hand hygiene & respiratory etiquette, exclusion of symptomatic workers, and other guidelines.
The Kahnawà:ke COVID-19 Pandemic Task Force consists of designated health and safety representatives from Kahnawà:ke’s service organizations
