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.

Question 529-20(1): Support for Charitable Non-Governmental Organizations
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 45)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And thank you to my colleagues for raising NGO issues. I'll be asking the Premier some questions about that as well.

So I believe it was last week or the previous week a public service announcement went out about what steps EIA is taking to support the NGO sector, and in that effort they outline some of the steps they'll be taking, and they referenced the strengthening non-profit and charitable sector external advisory committee report. So that report is something that many constituents have reached out to me about in the past. In that report, though, there are specific...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 45)

Yeah, thank you, Madam Chair. It's disappointing that it was trimmed rather than advertised but more of a comment than a question, and I'll cede my time. Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 45)

Thank you, Madam Chair. And, yeah, the 2024-2025 Main Estimates for the Indigenous language secretariat are slightly lower than this year's main estimates, so that's a positive, I believe, but in the historical 2023-2024 actuals, it's quite a significant drop. Could the Minister explain that, please. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 45)

Thank you, Madam Chair. Would the Minister be willing to share those items with the committee when they are available? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 45)

Thank you, Madam Chair. So I note in the progress to date on that item that you also mention archival records. And that's kind of what cued me to asking about that because there are archival records outside of the GNWT's ownership within the territory. So I assume that just means archival records that speak to those heritage resources? Thank you, Madam Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 45)

Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm good.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 44)

Thank you. I don't think I have anything further for this section. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 44)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'd also like to ask some questions about population and public health services.

As the Minister knows, there has been difficulty keeping the level of staff needed to provide COVID and flu vaccinations outside of the flu clinic that I think happened here in Yellowknife in November. I've also had constituents reach out and say, you know, I want to get vaccinations for travel, and that's not a possibility right now. I think that that was work to be resolved recently, which is great. So I guess my question is how are we planning to build capacity in vaccinations? Thank you...

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 44)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Turning to a different part of your business plan, under housing, the priority of housing, ECE has noted that you will complete a review of ECE's lands, reserves, and surplus, and all surplus land will be identified by the end of March of 2026. Is there a reason for why it's taking that long? Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 511-20(1): Shelter Network Funding and Training
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 44)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So the shelter network funding is used for more than training. It's also used for sector-based meetings and gatherings in person. Does the Minister believe that in-person connections for a sensitive sector such as this are not necessary? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
