UPDATE (as of 10:00 a.m. on 12/22/2020): Due to an increase in positive cases of COVID-19, Ontario and Quebec have announced lockdown measures to curb climbing numbers. The lockdown will take effect on December 26, 2020 at 12:01 a.m. and will remain in place until at least January 23, 2021.

MCA will be implementing the following measures to ensure the health and safety of the community and staff members:

  • MCA offices will now be closed to the public and staff from December 24, 2020 through January 1, 2021.
  • Between January 1 through January 25, only essential services will be operational.

These measures are being put in place for the protection of Akwesasronon.
