Kate Reid

Députée de Great Slave

Kate Reid a été élue députée de la circonscription de Great Slave à la 20e Assemblée législative des Territoires du Nord-Ouest.

À la fin de sa maîtrise, elle a rejoint les Archives des TNO, où elle a travaillé près de dix ans. C’est là qu’a germé sa passion pour la préservation et le partage des histoires qui peignent le portrait de notre territoire et de son gouvernement. En 2018, Mme Reid a pris un poste au ministère de l’Environnement et des Ressources naturelles et, dans le cadre de ses fonctions, elle s’est concentrée sur les questions de conservation et de développement durable dans les domaines législatif et politique, et ce, jusqu’à son élection comme députée.

Son leadership s’étend au domaine culturel, Kate Reid ayant été directrice de Folk on the Rocks, le festival de musique bien-aimé de Yellowknife, qui existe depuis longtemps. En outre, elle a contribué à des événements communautaires tels que NWT Pride, Yellowknife Pride et l’ancien spectacle d’art, Burn on the Bay.

En dehors de sa vie professionnelle, Kate Reid est mariée et trouve réconfort et inspiration dans toute une gamme de passe-temps; elle affectionne particulièrement la musique, l’art, le burlesque, le drag, le cinéma, l’haltérophilie et les voyages.

Member's Statement 912-20(1): Vets Without Borders
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 83)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. After raising the questions in the House with the Minister of MACA, as well as asking written questions, I had several folks reach out to speak with me about animal welfare programs offered to NWT communities. Most Yellowknifers are familiar with NWT SPCA and the services that they offer. NWT SPCA, the Tlicho Animal Rescue Society, the Hay River Animal Shelter, and Fort Smith Animal Shelter are all compassionate advocates and champions for animal welfare and work to re-home, spay, neuter, and treat hundreds of stray dogs and other pets each year.

A group that may have...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So some of the work that's being contemplated with the legislation and the work that is ongoing for future Assemblies, be it the Archives Act or the Heritage Resources Act -- I apologize if that's not the correct title -- that work is being contemplated in existing resources? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 82)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So in the business plan, it says summer 2026. Is that still on time? Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 82)

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. As the Minister knows, culture and heritage, near and dear to my heart.

In the business plan, there is a piece around planning to include heritage resources in emergency planning and that draft steps to implement planning are expected in summer of 2026. Could the Minister provide a scope of work on that particular item insofar as I assume it's heritage resources contemplated in both institutions as well as perhaps archaeological pieces, but I just would like to seek some clarity around that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 82)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And apologies if I missed that in -- in previous deliberations of Committee of the Whole. So thank you to the Minister for that. Can she provide more details around that agreement? Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 82)

Okay, that makes it sound like we're gonna do battle, Mr. Chair, but I will go first.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 82)

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you to the Minister for that clarification. For an item that's near and dear to my heart, and I appreciate working with the Minister on that very, very much, can she clarify if there have been new subscribers to income security now that the eligibility criteria has been expanded for folks who are applying for permanent residency on humanitarian or compassionate grounds? Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 82)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, I also have a couple questions on the business plan on income security. So the business plan notes that the updates for the new income assistance for seniors and persons with disabilities that you have the option to apply to the original stream or the new stream which allows people to apply to whatever program best aligns with what they need. Can the Minister clarify how many people have switched streams? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 1059-20(1): Diamond Mine Assset Retirement and Repurposing
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 82)

Thank you to the Minister for that. And I know the Minister is aware I have a passionate constituent who asks a lot of questions about this, so thank you.

Can the Minister tell me if as outlined in those conversations in the 2021 report on Re-Imagining Closure if an Arctic research and development centre continues to be a part of this conversation? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 82)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think those are all my thoughts for right now.
