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.

Question 976-20(1): Northwest Territories Arts Strategy
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 76)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And, Mr. Speaker, I am heartened to hear that this past weekend an artist reached out to me and said, you know, the new financial structure is working, it's clearer, it's understandable. But I am curious, Mr. Speaker, what more has her department been hearing about arts funding, and has this new structure been working for the majority of NWT artists? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 969-20(1): Family Violence Shelters
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 76)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Premier tell me if he sees value in and whether he would consider a round table or working group of NGO, community, and Indigenous government partners on how to effectively coordinate family violence shelters in safe homes across the NWT aligning with the MMIWG Call for Justice 4.7. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 969-20(1): Family Violence Shelters
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 76)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will endeavour to be slow.

Mr. Speaker, I wanted to say thank you before my questions that I am grateful that the Premier's staff has reached out to YWCA-NWT and begin to address some of their concerns, but I still have some additional ones to discuss today, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, can the Premier tell me if due to EIA's function of both coordinating the policy of A Way Home and the NGO sector support initiative and as the department that houses the gender equity unit, if he will consider directing EIA to coordinate and lead a policy approach in partnership with NGOs...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 76)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Apologies for not putting my hand up higher.

Continuing on the line of questioning that my colleague from Yellowknife North had, is there a substantiation that the health Minister can give around the increase of $13 million on the medical travel? Like, something that she could table in the House about the breakdown of why exactly it is so much more than it was previously? Because I don't feel like we're getting a clear understanding of why it's increased that much. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 76)

Thank you, Mr. Chair and thank you to the Minister for clarification. So in essence, it's sort of a charge back pot is what I heard, so thank you for that.

I have corresponded with the Minister several times around medical travel when residents feel compelled to go south and make appointments and book things on their own on various topics, not any one topic, and the information I have received back is that her department is constrained by the NWT-Canada health transfer around using health care -- private health care facilities and so reimbursing folks who use private facilities, that sort of...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 76)

I think that's all for here and for me. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 76)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I note that there is a $740 -- or $740, my goodness, if only -- $740,000 allocation to support 8-1-1 now that the Government of Canada has ceased to fund 8-1-1. My question for the Minister is, is this going to be an expected ongoing cost? I am hoping that it will. 8-1-1 is a great help to many constituents. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
