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 70)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, and in some of the material provided to Members, I note -- I'm pretty sure I know which outhouse this is. I agree that it needs to be accessible. I'm kind of amazed it's lasted this long, for 20 years. However, I'm curious, can the Minister speak to how much this costs and why it's projected to be so much. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 70)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, will the Minister direct his department to work with communities to build capacity to develop and/or enforce pet containment rules and bylaws? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 882-20(1): Dog Act Policy and Regulations
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 70)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the MACA Minister.

If the GNWT is unable to fund NWT SPCA for crucial services, will it instead consider making spaying and neutering of pets mandatory with exceptions for licensed breeders and dog teams so to reduce the litters and pressure on the NWT SPCA? Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 69)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just broadly, could the Minister please describe what accessibility improvements and upgrades and renovations will occur? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 863-20(1): Effects of Climate Change in the Northwest Territories
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 69)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Minister has spoken previously in this sitting, and mentioned it earlier in her answers, that she has directed her staff to understand the resiliency of our hydroelectric systems. Can the Minister outline what will happen to meet our net zero goal if we do not meet our timelines to upgrade our strategic energy infrastructure and continue with the status quo. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 863-20(1): Effects of Climate Change in the Northwest Territories
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 69)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my second set of questions is for the Minister of Strategic Infrastructure, Energy and Supply Chains. You make it look easy, Mr. Speaker. How is the Minister working with climate science to make strategic decisions for investment in our current and planned energy systems? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 69)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, no, it's good to hear that we are creating a safer environment for folks who are experiencing extreme distress. So more of a comment. Thank you. Nothing further.

Question 854-20(1): Health of Northwest Territories Boreal Forest
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 69)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So that is a tipping point for us. Does the Minister know how much more greenhouse gases we are emitting annually as compared to prior to our 2023 wildfire season and continued permafrost melt? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 69)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I'm looking here on page 66 of the project listing for corrections. Could the Minister please explain the North Slave correctional complex harm reduction cell. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
