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.

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. Nothing further.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 68)

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. No, that's a good news story. I'm sure my colleague from Inuvik Boot Lake could speak more about fueling up from Inuvik instead of Hay River, but I'll leave that for him. I believe that's everything I want to talk about here today. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 68)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yeah, no concerns with activities happening in that region, that's for sure. Just wanting to make sure that the science is there to back up the fact that we want to do that work there and we don't have low water levels dogging the project.

Mr. Chair, also on this page is the Taltson pre-construction planning "(CERNAC)." So far, Taltson is 100 percent funded by CERNAC. Can the Minister tell me if the GNWT has had conversations about what a funding arrangement will look like after the planning phase is completed? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 68)

Thanks, that clarifies. Thank you very much.

Mr. Chair, I'm curious also about the Sachs Harbour fuel storage and dispensing facility. Can the Minister please tell me what the 2026-2027 budget is for that item and what the project is, all the substantiation? Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 68)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I spoke to some of my main concerns in the government response to the after-action review on our first day of this sitting, which is whether we're doing enough as a government to adequately ensure the safety of elders and folks with disabilities. The Minister of MACA said that he's hopeful and pretty certain a lot of my concerns will be addressed.

I will support this motion as a vote for the GNWT to adequately resource behind-the-scenes work, the important policy work, the demos and tabletop exercises, the communities, and all levels of civil society that...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 68)

Okay, yeah. Thank you. And what communities are on the docket for 2026-2027? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 68)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And I believe that this has to do with all of the communities that are serviced by MTS, is that correct? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 68)

Yeah no, thank you, Mr. Chair. I think the Minister has proved my point, which is it's an ongoing task; it'll never end. And I'll just leave it at that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 68)

Thanks, Mr. Chair. Does the Minister have the amount of detail around which highways are planned or projected to be resealed in 2026-2027? Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 68)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And I just want to take this opportunity to say thank you to the Minister for taking me along the winter road back in 2024. It was a really eye-opening experience. It showed how we work really carefully with Indigenous governments and other partners to monitor that road. So I'm happy to see this here.

Could the Minister please just tell me how much the new construction is slated to cost? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
