Indoor and outdoor recreation facilities and surrounding wilderness provide plenty of opportunity for an active, outdoor, west coast lifestyle.
The community was developed in the 1950s to serve the aluminum industry. Over the years forestry and methanol industries also located here. Recently the LNG industry has been making significant investments in the area towards potential large export projects. As a result, heavy industry is the main employer in Kitimat.
