The District of Kitimat’s 11th annual business walk is happening October 15.

The Business Walk, first held in 2015, is a joint collaboration with the Kitimat Chamber of Commerce and yáqʷa Development Corporation to understand the business climate in Kitimat.

Using the insight gained through these events, the community have been able to enjoy economic development programming and advocacy to support the areas of highest interest for local businesses.

Events and programs include:

  • Kitimat Business Bootcamps.
  • Kitimat Business Builders Competition.
  • Entrepalooza. (an entrepreneur networking event)
  • Commercial Centre Revitalization Tax Exemptions Program.

Results from the 2024 business walk indicated that the majority of Kitimat business operations were steady while 38 per cent were enjoying growth.

The walk provided the chance for business owners to share their thoughts for how they could be supported and what they felt were needed resources.

Previous business walk reports are available on the District of Kitimat website at www.kitimat.ca/reports.
