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.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. The department continually works with municipalities who are, I guess, the knowledge-keepers for the area or for the region who would know what hazards might be upon them, and the department continually works with the municipalities to help develop their emergency plans and be prepared for any kind of emergency that might be coming on, whether it be fire, flood, or weather, or power outages or anything like that. So the emergency preparedness part is there with supports for the communities, and the department will be there to support them through that. Yes, thank you, Mr...

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess for the main part -- I think there's a few little steps in there, but I guess for the main part, some of the PREP emergency preparedness stuff, there's a lot of it that's not funded, unfortunately. However, communities can use some of their O and M for basic emergency preparedness, but I mean it doesn't cover off everything, obviously. Municipal and Community Affairs has programs to assist in, you know, developing emergency plans and being -- you know, getting prepared for an emergency; however, when it comes down to, like as she was stating, moving a building, I...

I guess just to reply to her comment, I mean, our continued relationship is that MACA works closely with NWTAC on numerous programs and funding agreements and so on. So, like, the three meetings that are showing here are essentially a minimum at least but to the point of that sometimes hard to get together, and that's our goal, is to make sure that we maintain that. And then, like I said, we're always going to meet with them at some point, right. Like, it's not something that we're not going to do, being that we have a good relationship with them. Thank you.
