Wednesday November 11 2015 15 WeRememberWeRemember They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. Excerpt from Ode of Remembrance by Lawrence Binyon Contracting Ltd. 1 Breynat Street Fort Smith NT 867 872-4567 POLITICS NWT ELECTION Those elected will join rst post-devolution assembly Kevin OReilly 1 This is an important time for residents of Yellowknife and the NWT. Devolution has empowered us to make signicant decisions that will determine the future of the North. Renewable energy can reduce the cost of liv- ing and create jobs. Lets build a northern economy for the 21st century and bring everyone along. 2 Reducing the cost of living retaining the benets of resource development diversify- ing our economy and homelessness. Invest- ment in renewable energy strong oversight of the new Stanton hospital reviewing how we manage resources support for diversify- ing our economy and Housing First are all part of my platform. 3 I have lived in the Frame Lake dis- trict for 24 years 30 years in Yellowknife. I have political experience from serving on Yellowknife City Council 1997-2006. My work experience with Aboriginal fed- eral and territorial government agencies on land use and resource management will serve me well as an MLA. I have a strong track record of working together with diverse interests and achieving re- sults like the Giant Mine Environmental Agreement. I have also volunteered with Alternatives North Ecology North Wade Hamer Hockey League and Canadian Crossroads International international development. 4 Avid gardener hockey player photog- rapher and postal historian. Range Lake Yellowknife Caroline Cochrane 1 Like many of us I am worried about the high cost of living unstable economy implementation of devolution and land claims lack of community resources and climate change. I also believe the GNWT needs more transparency and constituents need more say in GNWT decisions. I bring a strong background in nancial and busi- ness management policy development and a knowledge of social issues and current best practices. 2 Knocking on doors has been very en- lightening. I have been keeping track of each persons concerns and as such the most cited issues are cost of living people are concerned with the high costs to live in Yellowknife and many talk of moving support for children and youth parents are concerned with the lack of services and the cost of childcare the future of the mines many residents are worried about the future of the mines and the need to nd ways to entice people to staymove here and education concerns have varied from the implementation of Junior Kindergarten to the need for more post-secondary education. 3 I have proven leadership skills in busi- ness and nancial management as well as over 15 years managing non-prot social or- ganizations. I believe my professional skills will be an asset in assisting our government to prioritize issues of concern develop and adhere to a long term strategic plan and ensure that we are able to maintain a bal- anced budget. 4 Running a non-prot agency does not allow much free time. But during the warmer months I try to spend as much time as I can outdoors. I love gardening landscaping and renovating our home. Daryl Dolynny incumbent 1 I believe people are looking for those with experience and condence to deal with issues affecting our everyday way of life. I am seek- ing a second term so that I may continue to advocate with common sense for those areas important for ALL NWT residents. 2 Like I am sure no different than any- where many of my Range Lake residents are concerned about our stagnant economy and are unsure of our scal health. This has translated with equal distress to the lack of good paying jobs and a cost of living that is outrageous. In essence many are consider- ing the greener pastures in southern Canada. Then if you add the issues of health care edu- cationhomelessnessaddictionstransparency and a more accountable government into the mix and now you have a full recipe of misery. 3Ensuringourfuturerequirestherightlead- ers and I believe I can build a better tomorrow. 4 Nothing is free on the perpetual Honey- do list at my house. Hay River North Robert Bouchard incumbent 1 The past four years as MLA for Hay River North has been a steep learning curve for me. I nd the job very challenging and extremely rewarding as well. I believe that we have worked on some good initiatives midwifery program decentralization of GNWT jobs new sh plant regaining ex- tended care beds. Over my four years I see that there are a lot of areas that still need to be improved in our government. We need to be more responsive to the public and their needs. 2 Dredging - Ensuring the Hay River wa- terways are open for business Economic Development - continue to support and develop manufacturing tourism and the shing industry Team Work - Hay Rivers two MLAs must be a team and we must work as a team with Town Council Educa- tion Authority Chamber Persons with Dis- abilities Council and all great community organizations. 3 As I indicated there are many issues with our territorial government. Our gov- ernment has to be more responsive to our public. Now that I have one term under my belt I feel Hay River needs representation on cabinet and we cannot afford to start over. This next Assembly will have tough choices. We have a lot more work to do and I am com- mitted to continuing to work for Hay River. 4 I enjoy golng and camping in the summer. My camper is positioned right on the shore of the Great Slave Lake where we get to watch the sunset. Snowmobile in the winter. I am always keen to be around with friends and family.
