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.

Committee Motion 45-20(1): Tabled Document 193-20(1): 2025-2026 Capital Estimates – Infrastructure - Deferral of Department, Carried
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 33)

Yeah, thank you very much, Mr. Chair. So in some of my comments to the Minister of Finance yesterday, I know in our substantiations we talk about different ways that we make decision makings -- decision-making, pardon me, around the various metrics and choices that we make for selecting these items and considerations that we make about these items. There has been great conversation in previous Assemblies around the climate change considerations of these items. And so not to pick on the boat, not to make my colleague from Inuvik Boot Lake angry, it was just picked at random, I'm just curious as...

Question 366-20(1): Government of the Northwest Territories Public Service Employee Services
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 33)

Yeah, I know -- thank you, Mr. Speaker -- it is a tricky one and an even trickier one is increasing Indigenous representation in the public service, Mr. Speaker. I know this side of the House is very keen on seeing how we can do a better job of that. The survey does not distinguish between Indigenous and non-Indigenous employees so I have to assume that Indigenous employees are struggling with low morale too.

So what specific actions will the Minister propose to take to ensure Indigenous employees feel valued, heard, and supported in this organization above and beyond what's contemplated in the...

Question 349-20(1): Aurora College Location
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 32)

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. As we are in the capital budget process, we're all aware that there is no new money for a new Yellowknife polytech campus. So can the Minister please explain why the issue of locating a campus on Tin Can Hill has been silent after much fanfare in 2023? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Committee Motion 41-20(1): Tabled Document 193-20(1): 2025-2026 Capital Estimates – Finance – Deferral of Department, Carried
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 32)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And thank you to the Minister for that clarification; I greatly appreciate it. I don't have any further questions.

Member’s Statement 367-20(1): Aurora College Location
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 32)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Yellowknifers are passionate about their beloved multi-use green space park, Tin Can Hill. It is a favoured destination for fat bikes, dog walks, sled rides, and local photo shoots, just to name a few activities throughout all the seasons.

As Tin Can Hill is in my riding, one of the first conversations I had after Cabinet was selected was with the Minister of ECE. I asked the Minister about plans for the site by the Aurora College transformation project to seek clarity on what the situation was, what was coming, as it was not clear to me or the public at...

Committee Motion 41-20(1): Tabled Document 193-20(1): 2025-2026 Capital Estimates – Finance – Deferral of Department, Carried
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 32)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. So I note that the project here listed is a washroom accessibility upgrade for the Yellowknife courthouse. Could the Minister, please, provide a substantiation for this project. Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 32)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. And so I know that in the last Assembly there was a great deal of interest from the Members around how we make decisions and specifically how Cabinet makes decisions on various pieces of information before them, be it decision instruments, be it financial decisions. And so part of that conversation was climate change consideration so I'm just asking I guess, do climate change considerations occur in the substantiations of these projects? Thank you.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 32)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Sorry, I'm just scrolling furiously and possibly not getting somewhere where I want to get to fast enough. However could I get a substantiation for the technology service centre infrastructure ever greening, please. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Question 354-20(1): Aurora College Site Selection
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 32)

Thanks, Mr. Speaker. I don't know how many ways to ask it, so I'll pass along.

Question 354-20(1): Aurora College Site Selection
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 32)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, can the Minister make the technical report she spoke of earlier today publicly available? There are members in the community who would like to review them. Thank you.
