Biographie Vince McKay a été élu député de la circonscription de Hay River Sud à la 20e Assemblée législative des Territoires du Nord-Ouest.

Vince McKay est né le 17 septembre 1977 dans la ville pittoresque de Hay River. Sa carrière s’étend sur une période impressionnante de 26 ans au sein du gouvernement des Territoires du Nord-Ouest (GTNO). Il a commencé son parcours en tant qu’agent des services correctionnels, grimpant progressivement les échelons pour devenir un superviseur des services correctionnels respecté. Son sens du leadership lui a mérité le prestigieux poste d’administrateur adjoint, puis celui de directeur du Bureau des enquêtes et des normes (BEN).

Dans chacune de ses fonctions, il a fait preuve d’un engagement inébranlable envers la justice, l’équité et le bien-être de sa collectivité. Ses 30 années de service au sein du service d’incendie de Hay River témoignent de son dévouement envers la sécurité et le bien-être des résidents de Hay River. Il est par ailleurs propriétaire et exploitant de Westech Fire and Safety depuis 1999, ce qui prouve son sens des affaires et son engagement à respecter les normes de sécurité les plus strictes. Dans le domaine du devoir civique, Vince McKay a fait partie intégrante du conseil municipal de Hay River pendant 15 ans. Son mandat a été marqué par une attention soutenue au développement de la collectivité, une gouvernance réfléchie et un souci sincère du bien-être de ses concitoyens. Ses précieuses contributions au conseil municipal ont laissé une marque indélébile, lui valant le respect et l’admiration de ses collègues et de ses électeurs.

La famille de Vince McKay — son épouse, Barbara, et ses deux enfants — est au cœur de sa vie. Ensemble, ils forment un front uni qui a su relever les défis d’une vie consacrée au service public. Dans sa vie privée, Vince McKay trouve réconfort et joie dans une myriade de passe-temps. Féru de sport, on le trouve souvent sur la glace ou en train de parcourir les allées de golf, un club à la main. Adepte du grand air, il se passionne pour le camping, la pêche, la navigation de plaisance et le softball — des activités qui lui procurent un répit bien mérité, loin des exigences professionnelles.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 78)

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 78)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The majority of that is the -- I guess the result of contracted agreement for our winter road operations.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 78)

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. There are times where we have to do sole sourcing contracts in regards to, you know, certain items, emergencies or whatever like that. But usually, for the most part, we fall under the standard offer agreement for contracts, the SOAs. So we more so utilize those and have available contractors out there with pricing already established.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 78)

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. So part of this is the whole picture of operating the fleet management. You know, so part of this is also installing programs to monitor our fleet, you know, usage of vehicles, wear and tear, location of vehicles. So this all relates to the whole big picture of fleet management. These positions will help coordinate all this and help operate the whole fleet management program throughout the Northwest Territories. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 78)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So it was for a bit, but -- so a lot of this is related to the community operations. This was a position that had been there for a while. Communities are responsible for operating their own water treatment plants and utilidors, and this position was there. So this is part of our fiscal sustainability and our reductions, and this one was vacant. So they have somebody that does it, and this position was there, so we cut this position. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 78)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will start, and then I will just ask the deputy minister to elaborate a little more. But our goal, obviously, is to try to get these positions out to the communities or out to the regions. You know, we do have -- in Hay River, we have a couple positions that are -- as part of like MTS and stuff like that. So, you know, we're definitely trying. It's sometimes not always easy to attract these positions, and it's not always easy just to move them. So maybe I will just get the deputy minister to elaborate a little more. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 78)

Sorry, I should have added that in. Yes, and I will follow up. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 78)

Yeah, thank you, Mr. Chair. So the goal is to save money and, you know, at the end of the day what we're trying to do is have a better management of our fleet and our operations and, you know, basically know where our fleet is, the age of the fleet, the maintenance of it, the required maintenance, the locations, and everything else. But it's also, you know, being able to check the lifecycles, making sure that we're utilizing our fleet in its proper means, and basically the type of equipment and everything like that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
