AKWESASNE – If you’re heading to Cornwall Island today (Wednesday) be prepared to go through a survey checkpoint.

The information collected will be used for long-range planning for the MTO and for economic development and community planning for Akwesasne.
The MCA says roughly 15 per cent of southbound traffic will be randomly selected at the Akwesanse Mohawk Police Service-controlled survey work area, however, participation is voluntary.
The survey checkpoint outside the Peace Tree Mall will start at noon and will run until noon on Thursday.
Additional surveys will be held at the following times:
