Kitimat is a community of over 8,000 people located on the north coast of British Columbia. The community sits at the head of Douglas Channel next to Kitimat River. Indoor and outdoor recreation facilities and surrounding wilderness provide plenty of opportunity for an active, outdoor, coastal lifestyle.
The community was developed in the 1950s to serve the aluminum industry. Over the years, forestry and methanol industries also existed in Kitimat. It is now rapidly growing as an energy hub with the construction of the LNG Canada natural gas export facility and the Haisla-led Cedar LNG project in its construction phase.
Today, Kitimat is a fully-serviced community. Use the side menu to navigate our site to learn more about the community, our lifestyle, and our services.
