Kitimat residents and visitors receive great benefits from the variety of leisure services and opportunities that are available in our community. In addition to the range of independent outdoor pursuits which can be enjoyed in Kitimat's scenic and natural environment, many recreation services and opportunities are available through community clubs and groups, private organizations, businesses and tax-supported agencies.

The effort of 80 to 100 contract workers and volunteers enhance and support the work of 25 regular and approximately 30 part-time Recreation Department staff. Together we strive to enhance the quality of life in Kitimat by offering high-quality recreation experiences and leisure opportunities.
