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.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 50)

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'll stop beating the dead bird.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 50)

Thank you, Madam Chair. I will take that as a substantive in a different way. I am curious, though, I know the department has worked in the past specifically on the Ptarmigan mine site to reduce dust. There's dust suppressant so that the contaminants don't blow around on the highway. Is that work still continuing? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 50)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm sensing a theme day.

Mr. Speaker, the riding of Great Slave is a walkable Yellowknife constituency. Part of the attraction of the riding for residents is that it is close to downtown but close enough to nature that folks can enjoy green spaces like the gem that is Tin Can Hill and ease of access to Great Slave Lake.

Mr. Speaker, I'm also very aware that many of my constituents either choose not to have or cannot afford vehicles to take them to other parts of the city that are less walkable. I try to hold all my constituency events in the riding or near the riding with...

Thank you, Madam Chair. And can the Minister tell me if he's working with health and social services to do more public awareness campaigns, especially if there are more diseased animals, diseased/deceased animals found in the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Thank you. And by next fiscal, do you mean 2026-2027? Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 50)

Thank you, Madam Chair. I also enjoy a good ten cent word. I -- this question might have to get returned as well, and that's totally fine. But can the Minister provide committee with a list of the most recent surveys by caribou herd by year with estimated populations and ideally with a range map for each herd. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 50)

It's still with North.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 50)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Nothing further.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 50)

Thank you. And just one last question on this. The budget reallocation of approximately $34,000, what does that fund cover? Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 50)

Thank you, Madam Chair. And that's good to hear we're not taking money or dollars away from those really crucial programs and the good work that they do. I know they're very popular in all of our regions, and it's good to see them continue and to be so carefully evaluated for their success. It's a really good success story for the department.

My next question on this section is specifically around legislative initiatives. There is a decrease in budget as well for the policy legislation evaluation and communications line item. So considering the fact that ECC is the GNWT's largest user of the...
