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.

Mme Reid est née à Oshawa (Ontario) en 1981 et habite Yellowknife depuis 1989. Elle est titulaire d’un baccalauréat en journalisme de l’Université métropolitaine de Toronto (2003) et d’une maîtrise en sciences de l’information de l’Université de Toronto (2009).

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.

Mme Reid a été présidente de la YWCA des TNO de 2021 à 2023 et de la section locale 40 du Syndicat des travailleurs du Nord en 2019 et de 2021 à 2023. 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.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In the update to the business plan for the 2026-2027 year, it notes that the legislative initiative for the creation of a polytechnic has been paused. Can the Minister speak to why that is and what next steps will be. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And is that -- I think that adjustment might have been for the 2025-2026 year; I apologize if I have the numbers incorrect. But without federal realignment to the realities of the NWT with Jordan's Principle, what kind of shortfalls are we looking at for inclusive schooling, Mr. Chair? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Premier tell me whether the -- if the success of service integration, and its predecessor ICM, would encourage EIA to increase this unit's capacity and budget into future years? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the Minister's compassion and proactive stance on this one.

Switching gears a little bit, and to follow up on some of what was discussed in QP, it appears that there is a $546,000 allocation to support Aurora College in the delivery of practical nurse education. And so can the Minister elaborate on how this funding will support this program and what ways she sees it enhancing the northern workforce. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 81)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I want to highlight that in the emergency management section of ECE's business plan they note that they completed three scheduled reviews of safe school plans, and I am just curious if the Minister can outline how the department will support education bodies to further strengthen emergency response and lockdown procedures and increase active participation in community-level emergency planning. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 81)

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. And if the equitable funding that the Minister seeks is not in place for -- not this coming year, but years to come beyond 2026-2027, what kind of shortfall are we looking at as a territory? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
