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.

Déclarations dans les débats

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 60)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And my questions are also for the Minister of ECE. I don't want to preclude conversations she will have in Ottawa, but when can constituents expect more information of a redesigned -- equitably designed NTNP program intake for 2026 applications? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 60)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. In a strange turn of events, Yellowknife North has poached my questions. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, can the Member -- or pardon me, the Minister outline specifically for the $1.8 million how many beds that addresses, that funding. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank you, colleagues, for this opportunity. I would also like to welcome to the proceedings my constituents, Ben Israel, William Gagnon, and Sarah Hodgins today. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is, again, for the Minister of ECE. It's my understanding that funds for wage top-ups from the last fiscal year have not made it to all eligible daycare providers as of two weeks ago. Can the Minister please explain when the providers will be able to provide backpay to their staff? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank you to the Minister for that. I'm glad that she is seeing the urgency on this.

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister elaborate if she's working with her Cabinet colleagues to ensure information about critical service extensions, such as driver's license and health care access, is being made accessible to organizations that support newcomers? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I also wish to recognize CEO of the NWT Disability Council, Ms. Denise McKee, who is my constituent. Thank you for being with us here today.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And more of a brief comment, I certainly hope that the Minister does bring it back to us; however, I think it's also a great dataset to wrap up when she's asking for money for nation building infrastructure projects. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So would the Minister characterize the overages as all being similar since 2022 as the reason to why we would be coming back to the supps? Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 59)

No, thank you, Mr. Chair. I think the Minister has predicted my questions.
