“Mohawk Online contributes millions of dollars a year to Kahnawà:ke’s public finances,” said Grand Chief Joseph Tokwiro Norton. “These emergency funds from Mohawk Online will be of tremendous assistance to help community members with their health, safety and economic needs. MCK is grateful to Mohawk Online’s Board of Directors for its unanimous and unequivocal support.”

“Mohawk Online was formed to provide economic benefits for the community of Kahnawà:ke” said CEO, Dean Montour. “We are proud to be part of the on-going efforts being made to assist community members during this difficult time in our history. This is why we do what we do.”

Prior to declaring the emergency dividend, MOL received legal and financial advice to ensure the dividend would not adversely affect the company’s solvency and MOL would remain a going concern.
