La semaine dernière à Ottawa, la ministre Chinna a remis à Northern Compass le Prix Inspiration Arctique, un prix dont les Ténois peuvent être fiers.

Le Prix Inspiration Arctique reconnaît et encourage les équipes qui ont travaillé sur des projets pour le bien de l’Arctique canadien, des peuples arctiques et, par conséquent, du Canada tout entier.

L’ordre de santé publique délivré par le Bureau de l’administrateur en chef de la santé publique (ACSP) des TNO le 17 mai 2019 pour l’immeuble à logements Mackenzie Place de Hay River reste en vigueur afin de protéger les résidents contre les risques pour la santé.

Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to provide an update to the House on the launch of the territorial-wide 9-1-1 system on November 4th of this year. This new NWT 9-1-1 service will enhance our ability to connect residents and visitors with emergency services such as police, fire, and ambulance.

Mr. Speaker, today I am very proud to rise and recognize the three deserving individuals that have been recently inducted into the Northwest Territories’ Sport Hall of Fame.

The NWT Sport Hall of Fame was created to celebrate NWT athletes and sport builders who attained a high level of excellence and brought recognition and honour to the Northwest Territories.

Le 27 novembre 2019, à 9 h 55, le gouvernement des Territoires du Nord-Ouest (GTNO) procédera à un essai en temps réel du système En alerte TNO, le système d’alerte au public des Territoires du Nord-Ouest (TNO). Vous verrez et entendrez possiblement l’alerte au public sur les téléphones cellulaires, les stations radiophoniques et les réseaux de câblodistribution, partout aux TNO.

Le gouvernement des Territoires du Nord-Ouest (GTNO) est heureux d’annoncer que le service 9-1-1 est maintenant disponible dans chacune des 33 collectivités du territoire.

Grâce au 9-1-1, les Ténois pourront communiquer plus rapidement avec les services d’urgence de leur collectivité. Ce numéro sauvera des vies et rendra le Nord plus sûr et résilient. Beaucoup de travail et de consultations ont été consacrés au lancement de ce service depuis l’adoption de la loi en mars dernier.

Mr. Speaker, today I would like to recognize the athletes, coaches and mission staff who represented Team Northwest Territories at the 2019 Western Canada Summer Games, held in Swift Current, Saskatchewan from August 9 to 18.

This year, Team NT fielded 167 participants in seven different sports including soccer, swimming, athletics, tennis, volleyball and wrestling. 

Check Against Delivery

Good morning, everyone. 

It is a pleasure to join our Member of Parliament, Michael McLeod, as well as my colleagues from the Legislative Assembly for today’s announcement of federal funding for projects important to Northwest Territories communities.

As the Minister responsible for Municipal and Community Affairs, I am pleased to be working with Infrastructure Canada in implementing the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program Agreement.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the athletes, coaches, chaperones and most importantly all the volunteers who are making their way to Hay River for the annual Northwest Territories Track and Field Championships.

At 1:00pm today events will commence making this the 29^th Anniversary of one of the Northwest Territories premier sporting events.  I, along with some of my colleague from the House will be in attendance for the opening ceremonies tonight.

Mr. Speaker, this government is committed to improving access to emergency services and enhancing community wellness and safety through the rollout of the 9-1-1 service in all 33 communities.

The three-digit telephone number “9-1-1” is known as the number to call in emergencies throughout North America. The 9-1-1 service gives the public fast and easy access to our communities’ emergency services in situations when someone’s health, safety or property is in jeopardy or when a crime is in progress.
