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 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.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. That sounds really cool. I will be sure to ask the Minister more questions about that at a later date.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, can the Minister please speak to substantiation of the weather network upgrades, please? Thanks, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. If there was, I didn't catch it, so.

Moving forward to another item under this Minister's page is the Fort Simpson power plant replacement, relocation I suppose. And that is, I believe it says here through ISIP, which is another federal piece. If I recall correctly, it is 75 percent federal, 25 percent NTPC.

Can the Minister confirm whether, and maybe this is the wrong time to ask but I hope it isn't. Can the Minister confirm whether NTPC will construct the capital project or will its role be limited to ownership and O and M? Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you. I'll go to the...

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And yeah no, I kind of want to give the Minister the opportunity to talk about this really amazing project that's going to run to 2030 to 2031 to secure some of what Sachs Harbour needs for fuel storage. So if there are low water years, it looks like they might be saved a little bit of pain and suffering, is that accurate? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So many lakes and we miss Ms. Wickens immensely.

When it comes to, and I should note I'm only asking -- anyway, sorry, my apologies, Mr. Chair.

Are there, if the Minister can tell me if there are any concerns when it comes to the Whati transmission planning and design line item, and if there's any concerns about the persistent low water levels throughout the Snare hydro system and implications that might have for this project. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
