Hello and thanks for dropping into my website. Things are busy at the Legislative Assembly again, as we begin departmental budget reviews and prepare for the October 2009 session. Members are scheduled to sit for 15 days, from October 15 – November 5.
The departmental budgets are divided into two parts – a capital plan and a business plan. For the month prior to the October session, the Legislative Standing Committees meet to review the plans. Members will focus on scrutinizing and providing final approval to the capital plans during the October session. The business plan portions of the budgets, which cover operational costs, go through the same process during the February session.
The riding of Kam Lake continues to have two key initiatives moving forward. The final phase of the retrofit at Ecole St. Joseph School is ongoing, and work is expected to be complete in May 2010. The Kam Lake access road is well underway as well. This road will provide access to the city from the sandpit area on Highway 3, connecting the Engle Business District with Deh Cho Boulevard in the Kam Lake Industrial Park.
Both of these projects are successful examples of funding partnerships that are benefitting the riding of Kam Lake. The Ecole St. Joseph School project was funded by the territorial government and Yellowknife Catholic Schools. The Kam Lake access road is funded by the federal, territorial and municipal governments. Hopefully we will have many more successful joint projects in the future.
Feel free to contact me anytime with your concerns and issues by phone at 669-2296 or 766-2296, or by email at: david_ramsay@gov.nt.ca. As always, many thanks to the residents of Kam Lake for your ongoing support.
Dave sits on the following Legislative Assembly Standing Committees:
