Circonscription électorale de Hay River Sud 

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.

Member’s Statement 128-20(1): Hay River Events
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 11)

Wow, how do you follow that?

I just want to acknowledge a couple exciting events happening in Hay River, my region, this coming weekend, week. First of all, neighbours across the river, K'atlodeeche is having an annual carnival this weekend. This week, we're also welcoming Members from throughout the Northwest Territories in Hay River for the annual NWT Association of Communities training and annual general meeting. Also this weekend in Hay River is the annual pond hockey tournament which is put on by a bunch of amazing volunteers in Hay River. And I'm looking forward to being back home and...

Question 84-20(1): Fort Good Hope Arena
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 9)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I stated the responsibility of the project lies with the community government; however, I will commit that the department will continue to work with the community government to try to assist them in that project as we already have. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 82-20(1): Licensed Gaming
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 9)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I believe the agendas are decided collaboratively so we'd have to bring that forward again. Thank you.

Question 82-20(1): Licensed Gaming
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 9)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is something I think we'd have to go and consult with the local Aboriginal groups and the Council of Leaders to start doing work and see what we can do to update our Lotteries Act. Thank you.

Minister’s Statement 18-20(1): 2024 Arctic Winter Games
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 9)

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the athletes, coaches, and mission staff who are representing Team NT at the 2024 Arctic Winter Games in the MatanuskaSusitna Valley, Alaska from March 10 to 16, 2024. The Arctic Winter Games provide an opportunity for Team NT to engage and compete with other athletes from the circumpolar region. Not only are the games an athletic competition for athletes, it also provides an opportunity to promote cultural and social exchange among youth from all parts of the North. These games help with the development of sport in the NWT and the quality of life for...

Question 87-20(1): Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 9)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I encourage the Member to reach out to their local government to also reach out to MACA. Maybe there's something that could be done there. However, most recently we did learn of CIRNAC releasing some funds. So there is an opportunity for the local government to also reach out to them to assist. Thank you.

Question 86-20(1): Emergency Management Services
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 9)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The GNWT is working with the Council of Leaders to find ways of communicating with the communities in regards to emergency management. Also, we're well aware of the communication issues that happened. To be honest, I was one of the ones running around stealing StarLink so that we could have communication. So I hear what the Member is saying. The departments are working on these concerns. However, local community governments are responsible for local emergency measurement, EMO organizations. Part of that EMO organization is being prepared themselves. And they're the ones...

Question 84-20(1): Fort Good Hope Arena
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 9)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will reach to my department and see what we can do. I know, like I said earlier, the local government is lead on the project, so we'll see what we can do for the Member. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Question 84-20(1): Fort Good Hope Arena
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 9)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. When it comes down to the local governments, they are the lead on such projects with the support of MACA to get through the projects and assistance and guidance. Ultimately, the local community government is responsible for the projects and completing them. Thank you.

Question 82-20(1): Licensed Gaming
Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 9)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Again, I think that's something that we have to bring forward and look with our legislation and something that we'd have to consult with all the local Aboriginal groups along with the government agencies to see what we can do. Thank you.
