A
nchored by the nearly
complete LNG Canada
terminal, Kitimat will begin
shipping Canadian liquefied
natural gas to international markets
by late 2025. This milestone, along
with construction of the Cedar
LNG project—an Indigenous-led
initiative spearheaded by the
Haisla Nation—highlights Kitimat's
vital role in advancing economic
development in the region.
Originally built in the 1950s
to serve the aluminium sector,
Kitimat remains home to Rio Tinto's
recently modernized smelter and
a skilled workforce. Today, the
town is a vibrant hub where global
investment opportunities meet a
balanced, West Coast lifestyle.
Kitimat boasts an impressive
combination of robust infrastructure
and affordability. With high-speed
internet, rail connections, highway
access and an airport just a
30-minute drive away, Kitimat is
well-equipped to support growth.
And with an average home priced
at just $393,413, Kitimat offers a
rare chance to own property in BC's
desirable real estate market.
For residents, Kitimat's short
commutes mean more time to
spend with loved ones in the
easily accessible great outdoors
or making new connections in the
town's many community gathering
spaces. Kitimatians can hike, bike,
boat or swim on the river, lake or
ocean in summer; quench their
thirst at the popular Two Peaks
Brewery; perfect their swing at
the Hirsch Creek Golf Club; work
up a sweat at the town's ample
rec centres, yoga studios and ice
rinks; or carve turns on the slopes
of nearby Shames Mountain in
winter. Whether you're looking for
the right place to launch a project,
grow your career or raise a family,
Kitimat offers it all.
