SHOP KAHNAWAKE FIRST - gift certificates available

‘Shop Kahnawake First’ is an awareness campaign initiated by the Small Business Services division of Tewatohnhi'saktha, Kahnawake’s Economic Development Commission. It was created to encourage consumers to look for products and services in Kahnawake before looking elsewhere and to encourage positive growth within our local economy.

Spending your money in Kahnawake really does make a big difference. To support this effort, Tewatohnhi'saktha has created gift certificates that can be redeemed at all Kahnawake businesses who are participating in the ‘Shop Kahnawake First’ initiative. They make great gifts and ensure that the money will be spent locally.

“Shop Kahnawake First” gift certificates are available in denominations of $5.00, $10.00, $20.00, $50.00 and $100.00. and are available at Tewatohnhi'saktha on the 3rd floor of the Kahnawake Business Complex.

For more information on purchasing gift certificates or to join on as a participating business, contact Tewatohnhi'saktha at 450-638-4280.
