Kate Reid a été élue députée de la circonscription de Great Slave à la 20e Assemblée législative des Territoires du Nord-Ouest. 

Kate Reid est née dans la ville d’Oshawa, en Ontario, en 1981. Elle vit à Yellowknife depuis 1989. Son parcours témoigne de la diversité de ses intérêts et de sa volonté inébranlable de contribuer au bien-être de sa collectivité. 

Kate Reid a commencé sa carrière en tant que journaliste, après avoir obtenu un baccalauréat en journalisme à la Toronto Metropolitan University en 2003. Son intérêt pour la recherche l’a amenée à travailler à la bibliothèque municipale de Yellowknife, puis à s’inscrire à l’université de Toronto, où elle a décroché une maîtrise en sciences de l’information en 2009. De retour dans le Nord, elle a apprécié de pouvoir rejoindre le personnel des Archives des TNO, où a germé sa passion pour la préservation et le partage des histoires qui peignent le portrait de notre territoire et de son gouvernement. Kate Reid a ensuite travaillé au ministère de l’Environnement et du Changement climatique du gouvernement des Territoires du Nord-Ouest, où elle a mis son expertise au service des enjeux environnementaux, contribuant ainsi au développement durable par son travail législatif et politique pendant cinq ans avant d’être élue députée.

Son dévouement au service de sa collectivité est exemplaire, marqué par son rôle de présidente de la YWCA des TNO de 2021 à 2023. Son leadership s’étend au domaine culturel, Kate Reid ayant été directrice de Folk on the Rocks, un festival de musique annuel qui enrichit le paysage culturel de Yellowknife. En outre, elle a activement contribué à des événements communautaires tels que NWT Pride, Yellowknife Pride et Burn on the Bay et a été présidente de la section locale 11 du Syndicat des travailleurs du Nord en 2019 et de 2021 à 2023, ce qui illustre son engagement envers la défense des intérêts et du bien-être de ses concitoyens.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I want to offer my condolences to the tightknit community of Fort Smith alongside my fellow Members of the House. When tragedy hits us in the NWT, I'm always heartened by the overwhelming outpouring of love and support for those who are hurting. It has been said countless times over the years, but it bears repeating: The NWT is a small town spread out over a large area. We almost always know someone who is affected by a deeply felt loss, and we will always stand shoulder to shoulder to support them in their grief. I know all of us stand here today with the...
