Armé de sa perceuse, Billy Joe Yellowsnow, alias Cameron Buddo, l’un des artisans de ce pays des merveilles de neige, prend la pose tout au haut de ce qui deviendra, en mars, l’attraction la plus courue aux TNO. Depuis cinq semaines, à l’emplacement habituel sur la baie de Yellowknife, l’équipe s’affaire à bâtir un parc d’attractions hivernal conforme aux consignes de la santé publique. La thématique du festival cette année, les dinosaures. Pour ériger les structures de neige, une souffleuse projette le « mortier » dans le coffrage de bois où deux ouvriers le compressent du mieux qu’ils peuvent avec leur poids et des pelles. « Il faut bien se protéger quand la souffleuse envoie la neige, c’est comme une mini avalanche », rapporte Patrice Tremblay, dit Patr Ice.

    Canadian eview V olume 42, No. 4 Right to BaRe Arms Dress Guidelines in British Columbia’s Legislative Assembly p. 6 2 CANADIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW/SUMMER 2019 There are many examples of family members sitting in parliaments at the same time. However, the first father-daughter team to sit together in a legislative assembly did not happen in Canada until 1996. That is when Sue Edelman was elected to the 29th Yukon Legislative Assembly, joining her re-elected father, Ivan John “Jack” Cable. Mr. Cable moved to the North in 1970 after obtaining degrees in Chemical Engineering, a Master’s in Business Administration and a Bachelor of Laws in Ontario. He practiced law in Whitehorse for 21 years, and went on to serve as President of the Yukon Chamber of Commerce, President of the Yukon Energy Corporation and Director of the Northern Canada Power Commission. He is also a founding member of the Recycle Organics Together Society and the Boreal Alternate Energy Centre. Mr. Cable’s entry into electoral politics came in 1992, when he successfully won the riding of Riverdale in East Whitehorse to take his seat in the Yukon Legislative Assembly. Ms. Edelman’s political presence had already been established by the time her father began his term as an MLA. In 1988, she became a Whitehorse city councillor, a position she held until 1994. In her 1991 reelection, she received more votes for her council seat than mayor Bill Weigand received. Following her time on city council, she was elected to the Selkirk Elementary School council. In the 1996 territorial election, she ran and won in the Riverdale South riding.

From the press release, we are to understand that the creation of this Secretariat will “foster greater clarity, accountability, and consistency in the territory’s pandemic response. The Secretariat will be responsible for border compliance, enforcement, Protect NWT, 811, isolation centers, and personal protective equipment.” Our understanding of the announcement indicates that this Secretariat will be staffed by permanent employees “The Secretariat will be staffed by 150 full-time, part-time, and relief positions. The government is working on a breakdown of how many of those 150 positions will be new hires.” This announcement has raised several concerns from the business community. Thus far, the total cost of a new GNWT division is budgeted at $86m; $23.4m from the Federal Government funding that was earmarked to better prepare our healthcare system. The primary justification for our extensively restrictive regulations, rules, and policies regarding COVID-19 was not to overburden an already taxed health system. Thus, we feel the $23.4m would be better allocated to better preparing the healthcare system, not creating another unnecessary level of bureaucracy. The business community is very concerned about creating a division in the Health and Social Services department six months into a pandemic and five months since our last case.

    TD 319-19(2) TABLED ON FEBRUARY 24, 2021 February 23, 2021 MR. RYLUND JOHNSON MLA, YELLOWKNIFE NORTH Oral Question 511‐19(2): Alternative Voting Methods for Communities This letter is in follow up to the Oral Question you raised in the House on February 05, 2021, regarding alternative voting methods for community government elections. The Department of Municipal and Community Affairs (MACA) continues to work closely with the Northwest Territories Association of Communities (NWTAC) as a primary stakeholder to identify and support their priorities; aligning their interests with the department’s priorities as much as possible. In addition to their annual general meetings, MACA meets with the NWTAC Board and the board of the Local Government Administrators of the NWT on a regular basis to engage on Departmental activities and receive input on where the department can improve its programs and services as well as receiving input on matters such as legislative priorities. This engagement informs the Department on how to best focus on the issues that are most important to community governments. To date, interest in advancing options for online or telephone voting has not been brought forward to MACA by the NWTAC Board membership or any specific community since the resolution was first raised in 2018. As previously noted in the House, the Gwich’in Tribal Council (GTC) have permitted the use of online and phone in voting in their recent elections. MACA staff have had initial discussions with the GTC’s election officials on the processes allowed for the alternative methods used in these elections. I can further share the following information on the two alternative voting processes utilized in the 2016 and 2020 GTC elections.
