Please confirm that the MBQ Lands Department has a copy on file. This will assist in processing documents according to the wishes of the CP holder. Thank you, Lands Department

ATTENTION MORTGAGE HOLDERS It has come to our attention that many insurance companies will ONLY notify the MOHAWKS OF THE BAY OF QUINTE if your existing house insurance policy has been cancelled, but will NOT when the policy has been renewed. This creates a problem when incentives, rewrites and renovations are requested. You will not qualify if your house insurance policy on file is not up to date. In order to ensure your policy is current, we ask that you mail, fax or deliver renewal form when received.

Who: Parents, Guardians, Community Members When: Tuesday, May 15th Presentation: 6:00 p.m.-8:00 p.m. Where: To be Determined

“In today’s day and age, children are increasingly using internet technology, social media platforms, and apps that allow them to communicate with virtually anyone. The rapid advances in technology present new and ever evolving challenges that can feel overwhelming as we strive to keep our children safe online.” “It seems easy to simply prohibit our children from using technology; however, this is not practical or sustainable particularly as our children grow older.” “The seminar will reinforce messages around healthy relationships and positive self-image, and provide parents and guardians with practical, age appropriate advice for framing conversations on internet and personal safety in a positive and empowering way that will inspire rather than instill fear.”

Please call or email to register by April 27th

A Letter from Mrs. Taylor

To the community of Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory,

This last year has been a very difficult one for my family. My daughter, Andrea, became very ill and needs surgery in the United States. She has been on IV nutrition and has not able to eat for seven months. There is only one team of surgeons in the world that does the intestinal malrotation surgery that she desperately needs. Andrea applied to OHIP for out of country funding and OHIP denied her application. My family decided to self pay for the surgery, even if it meant selling our house. When the communities of Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory and Prince Edward County heard about our situation they rallied around our daughter and started to fundraise. Community members, families and businesses from Tyendinaga have been so supportive from sharing the information to donations and fundraising events. Brittany Pratt hosted a music evening and silent auction at the Brittany Brant Music Centre. Thank you to the musicians Brittany, Mike, Jennifer, Carl, Annie, Kyle and Cory for putting on a great show. Thank you to everyone who donated items for the silent auctions. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets for the music evening. Quinte Mohawk School held a taco night, bake sale and silent auction. Friends, former colleagues and students of mine, community members and businesses donated. The Taco Night at QMS was fabulous - thank you to everyone who worked hard to put it on. Thank you so much to the staff, students, parents and cooks at QMS for hosting such a successful night. The fundraising campaign seems so overwhelming when we first started it but because of your help Andrea had her surgery in mid-April. Tyendinaga is such a wonderful, caring, helpful community and we are so grateful for your help.
