Notes from Council, January 6, 2025

  • Council discussed a Geoscience BC letter requesting supports for their "Northwest BC Geothermal & CCUS Assessment Project," which aims to promote geothermal energy projects and potential CO2 storage. Council's approved support includes:
    • Offering any in-kind support that would benefit this research project.
    • Recommendations towards future phases of the project, including the inclusion of Kitimat.
    • Writing a letter of support to Geoscience BC.
    • Opting to receive news and notifications for this project.
  • Kitimat Search & Rescue provided an update to Council on their activities from 2023 and 2024, including their calls to service, training and recruitment activities, and community outreach programs. 
  • The District of Kitimat's Planning department provided an update on the Complete Communities Study & Housing Focused Official Community Plan Update. This project, supported with grant funding from Union of BC Municipalities, looks at a number of future priorities for Kitimat's planning, including aspects required under provincial legislation. Complete Communities means looking at Kitimat as a place providing necessary services to residents within a short distance to their homes while the housing aspect looks at planning Kitimat to meet long-term housing needs. Community engagement for this project will take place in the near future. Follow the District's channels, including Get Involved Kitimat, for updates as they are available.
