Kitimat
Welcome the wonderful Kitimat - a magnificent hidden gem tucked away in the heart of British Columbia, Canada! Cosied up where the Kitimat River meets the ocean, and hugged by the towering coastal mountains, our town is a haven of cool, temperate climates.
If you’re an adventurer, the spellbinding Kitimat Range and Mount Elizabeth are teeming with hiking trails and winter activities. For those who love the sea, the stunning Douglas Channel boasts a deepwater seaport, beckoning you to uncover its secrets.
Kitimat's fascinating industrial past dates back to the 1950s when the Aluminum Company of Canada lovingly carved out our town with its aluminum plant in mind. Today, the aluminum industry continues to shape our vibrant economy, creating jobs for our local community. Our economic landscape is growing more diverse with the emergence of the LNG Canada project, a promising venture in exporting liquefied natural gas.
The spirit of the Haisla Nation thrives in Kitimat, fostering a rich tapestry of cultural diversity. We come together each year in a lively display of athleticism and community during the Kitamaat Basketball Tournament – a top-notch Indigenous basketball showdown in British Columbia.
For foodies, Kitimat is a seafood sanctuary. Enjoy a feast of local freshwater catches like the irresistible dungeness crab, delectable halibut, and tender salmon. Make sure to visit our local breweries and indulge in the finest craft beers handcrafted by our very own brewmasters.
Whether you prefer to fly, drive or sail, accessing Kitimat is a breeze. While you're here, soak up local history and Haisla culture at the immersive Kitimat Museum & Archives. Sports lovers can head to the versatile Tamitik Jubilee Sports Complex or if wide-open spaces are more your style, you'll love taking a refreshing breath of nature at Minette Bay or going on a fun fishing expedition at Radley Park. No matter how you choose to spend your time, you'll create unforgettable memories to treasure in lovely Kitimat!
